This chapter outlines the difficulty and importance of tackling human evolution in the classroom, and the different demands this places on the instructor. It discusses lessons for teaching evolution in action, specifically in the context of human evolution and population genetics. These lessons include explicit hands-on activities for the students in analyzing and interpreting human genetic data, and addressing the information flow from scientific journal articles to popular presentation in the media. This content was implemented in a course designed for graduate students though with the occasional advanced undergraduate student with background in STEM fields other than biology. The chapter finally reflect on what the students gain from these lessons, and what limitations remain.
