1941 science test shows how things have changed...
1941 exam unearthed by one anatomy professor.
The test is a relic of a simpler time that tells us
a lot about the evolution of studying evolution.
What makes the 1941 test a fossil in its own right
is that it doesn't mention DNA, or molecular
biology, in its questions about evolution, he adds.
A June report in the Nature journal about a newly-
discovered dinosaur fossil, for example, feeds the
measurements of the 155-million-year-old creature
into debate about the evolution of bird digits.
But today, evolutionary biologists also have a great
deal of information about the genes driving
development of those digits, Holliday says,
illuminating unexpected links between species
and complicating the argument.

Durham, North Carolina
Once a tobacco town, Durham, N.C., has evolved into a world-class center of all things advanced. This city of 206,000, located halfway between the Atlantic coast and the Great Smoky Mountains, is called the "City of Medicine" because of its expansive healthcare industry. And although widely known as the home of prestigious Duke University, it's also a thriving technology hub. At the same time, Durham's mild climate allows residents to get out
and explore the region's abundant outdoor attractions.
Consider hiking one of the many distinct trails and greenways
or heading over to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park for an afternoon baseball game.
