摘要：The concept of evolution is fundamental to the teaching of biological sciences.Nevertheless, it seems frequently neglected and/or forgotten in our classrooms and absent from the school syllabus.These difficulties are present today in the Portuguese educational system, especially concerning the issue of human evolution.To overcome this difficulty, a multidisciplinary pilot project entitled Playing with the Big Tree of Evolution was developed by a nonprofit association called Group of Studies in Human Evolution in Portuguese schools and in other public and private organizations.Combining non-formal and informal apprenticeship, the project is composed of a set of pedagogical and experimental activities that aim to promote the broad concept of human evolution as well as to demystify the anthropocentric perspective that places humans at the top of the chain of life.
