Despite evolution being the central concept of biology, many biology students do not understand the core principles of evolutionary theory. Here, we propose that integrating evolution throughout the biology curriculum, and incorporating molecular biology and molecular genetic perspectives, will help students not only to achieve a better understanding of evolution, but also to appreciate how modern evolutionary biology research is practiced. However, realizing this vision will require changes in the way that biology is taught. Educators will need to teach from a broadened perspective and to utilize new strategies for maximizing student learning. However, if this vision is realized then strides can be made in advancing the public understanding of evolution.
