Regardless of students’ belief systems (creationist, theistic, non-theistic) students tend to view evolution has having negative personal and social implications.

A biology teacher encourages students to “boo” other students for any reference to “need” in evolutionary explanations as opposed to helping students resolve the role of behavioral responses to need in evolutionary processes (see Hanisch & Eirdosh preprint: Causal mapping as a teaching tool for reflecting on causation in human evolution)
