"A Civic Biology, Presented in Problems" is a reprint of an early 20th-century biology text reflecting the main assumptions of the eugenics movement, which was on the rise at the time of publishing. The book is famous for starting the Scopes trial, commonly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, an American legal case in which a high school teacher, John T. Scopes, was accused of teaching human evolution. The teacher was called to court for reading his students certain passages from "Civic Biology".

This book introduces readers to the "Trial of the Century," revealing how the trial originated, what caused and happened during and after the trial, what happened to the trial's participants, and why the trial still matters nearly 100 years later. Ongoing controversies about school curricula, such as the teaching of Critical Race Theory and the role of parents in public education, can all be traced to the Scopes Trial. Today, the question remains: who controls the school curriculum? This was a foundational issue in the Scopes Trial, and we have been debating this question ever since. This book will help readers understand where these controversies originated and how courts, politicians, and the public handled these issues nearly a century ago. Featuring new information from previously untapped sources and providing an in-depth study of John Scopes himself, this book interrogates the facts, fictions, and legend of the Scopes Trial, which historians rank as one of the defining events of the 20th century. It is an ideal resource for anyone interested in the ongoing controversy about evolution, science, and religion in education and American life.

The 1925 trial of John Scopes in tiny Dayton, Tennessee, remains a defining moment in American history. This "trial of the century"--a "media event" before the term was coined--addressed issues that still affect our society today, such as control of the school curriculum, the ongoing tensions between science and faith in public schools, and the ramifications of teaching evolution and human origins. This book is the first encyclopedic treatment of the Scopes Trial. The text draws on media reports, family interviews, and Scopes' personal correspondence, providing new information and perspectives. The book includes previously unseen photos and information about Scopes and his relatives, as well as insights about the trial's instigators, participants, and issues, all organized in a concise and easily accessible format.

Excerpt from New Civic Biology: Presented in Problems At the beginning of each of the following chapters (except the first and the last) are a series of suggested problems. These should serve as a review of the chapter for both teacher and stu dent. They constitute, to a degree, the key which opens the way to the understanding of the chapter. Following the problems are laboratory suggestions, many of which are worked out fully in Hunter's Laboratory Problems in Civic Biology.
