Evolutionary biology reappears on federal grant list 31 August 2006 Evolutionary biology, mysteriously missing from the list of undergraduate subjects eligible for a US federal grant, has been reinstated after a flurry of protest. David Dunn of the Department of Education says its absence was the result of a misunderstanding. "As soon as the omission came to our attention, we took steps to correct it." However, the incident has left pro-evolution campaigners wondering whether evolutionary biology was deliberately left out by people who find Darwinian evolution at odds with their religious beliefs.
