本文提出了一种学习进化论的实践方法；具体来说，是利他行为和合作行为的演变。个体选择的经典观点强调个体之间对资源和生存竞争的重要性。根据这种观点，利他和合作行为似乎不利于进化的成功。然而，将进化视为一个复杂的系统，利他主义和合作可以被视为个体生存的宝贵特征。 EACH 项目开发了实践材料，使学生能够参与并测试他们对利他行为的适应性和进化成功的直觉。主要材料包括一组多主体模型（用 StarLogoT 编写）和指导学生探索进化场景的相关活动。通过参与 EACH 项目，许多最初将进化适应性理解为孤立个体的特征的学生开始认识到进化过程中环境和社会因素的复杂性。
This paper presents a hands-on approach to learning about evolution; specifically, the evolution of altruistic and cooperative behavior. The classical view of individual selection stresses the importance of competition between individuals for resources and survival. On this view, altruistic and cooperative behavior appear to be disadvantageous for evolutionary success. However, looking at evolution as a complex system, altruism and cooperation can be seen as valuable traits for individual survival. The EACH project developed hands-on materials that enabled students to engage and test their intuitions about the fitness and evolutionary success of altruistic behavior. The primary materials consisted of a set of multi-agent models (written in StarLogoT) and associated activities that guided students in exploring evolutionary scenarios. Through their involvement in the EACH project, many students who had started with an understanding of evolutionary fitness as a trait of isolated individuals came to appreciate the complexity of environmental and social factors in the evolutionary process.
