Did the new coronavirus come from a lab?
What are the competing hypotheses about the origin of the new coronavirus and what is the evidence to back each one up?
Deep Dive: How Do Point Mutations Create New Genetic Information?
Point mutations don’t increase the length of an individual’s genome, but they do increase the amount of genetic information within a population.
Stated Clearly Animations Are Now NGSS‑Aligned!
Teachers can easily see which Stated Clearly animations can be used to teach specific core ideas within the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
Evidence For Evolution In Your Own Backyard!
Next time you’re stung, remember this: You have just been stabbed by the modified reproductive organs of a lady bee!
Fossil Spotlight: Meet Maiacetus, the Mother Whale!
Maiacetus was about 8 1/2 feet long, lived a little over 47 million years ago, and is interpreted as an amphibious whale that rested on land but hunted at sea.
What Good is Half a Blowhole?
The modern whale’s blowhole clearly gives it a survival advantage. But how did natural selection, a blind thoughtless process, first get started building this fantastic contraption?
Where Does Stated Clearly Get Information for Animations?
When writing an article or the script for an animation, we start by consulting as many text books and scientific journals as we can.
Is Stated Clearly a Creationist or Intelligent Design Organization?
No. Stated Clearly is not a Creationist or Intelligent Design organization. Our articles and animations focus strictly on established scientific theories, observed facts, and testable scientific hypotheses.
Science Teachers Fail to Teach Evolution
One of our goals at Stated Clearly is to raise public understanding of how evolution works.
Is Stated Clearly an Atheist Organization?
No, Stated Clearly is not an Atheist organization. Our job is to simply state the observable facts of biology, and to clearly present the reasoning which scientists have used to reach tentative conclusions.
Is Stated Clearly a Non‑profit Organization?
Currently no, though we are looking into it. Unfortunately this means that for the time being, donations made to StatedClearly are not tax deductible in the U.S.
Stated Clearly is Featured by the Royal Institution
The Royal Institution of Great Britain recently featured our video “What is DNA and how does it work?” on their new website.
Human Mutation Rate: How Many DNA Mutations Happen Each Generation?
A mutation rate is the number of mutations which occur on average per generation. Mutation rates are determined by comparing the DNA of offspring to parents, and counting up the differences.
Stated Clearly Featured by Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science
Our animation “What is Natural Selection” has been posted on the Richard Dawkins Website.

5 Genes That Sculpt Your Face
In 1961, Marshall Nirenberg cracked the genetic code, finally showing us the DNA language used by genes to build proteins. Today we are still working to figure out how those genes, and the proteins they build, affect our overall structure and appearance.
