The Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, an interdisciplinary scientific organization dedicated to the study of hormonal processes and neuroendocrine systems that regulate behavior, recently added its voice for evolution.
In its position statement on the teaching of evolution in K-12 science classrooms, SBN affirms, "Evolution is the unifying principle of modern biology. Within biological science, the reality of evolution is not controversial. Thus, literacy in 21st century biological science includes the fundamental concept of evolution," adding, "it is unacceptable to incorporate religious beliefs into the science curriculum, whether sanctioned by the state or practiced by individual teachers."
SBN's statement is now reproduced, by permission, on NCSE's website, in the Scientific and Scholarly Organizations section of Voices for Evolution, NCSE's collection of organizational statements supporting the teaching of evolution.
