ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Not about Darwin directly but for those who are interested in Evolution NOVA
has a terrific program Becoming Human. The third part in on tonight but
WGBH?NOVA has created a web site about human evolution and has the first

Go to:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/beta/evolution/,

a typical NOVA website: rich in materials.
