good suggestion!
This particular site is called "Anthropology Tutorials" and covers
evolution and anthropology in a very clear, simple way. I'd say it's on
about a high school level. The page I suggested Bertvan read covers
mutations. An although mutations are referred to as "random" in other parts
of the tutorial I thought this was an intersting way to put the problem:
"However, mutations appear to be spontaneous in most instances. That does
not mean that they
occur without cause but, rather, that the specific cause is almost always
unknown." It seemed like the *true* agnostic position.
