'''''A Civic Biology'''''<ref>The full title was ''A Civic Biology: Presented in Problems'', but it is often referred to as just ''Civic Biology''.</ref> was an American high school biology textbook by George William Hunter published by the American Book Company in 1914. In addition to standard biological information, the book supported [[race|racist]] views of [[homo sapiens|humanity]], endorsing [[evolution]] and [[eugenics]]. It was the textbook used in the school in [[Dayton, Tennessee]], in 1925 when teacher [[John Scopes]] was charged with teaching the [[evolution]] of mankind in the famous "[[Scopes Trial]]". In the revised edition released in 1926, the publishers removed any mention of the word "evolution" from it, because of the anti-evolution movement.<ref>[http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/1/1/3/8/9/p113893_index.html Shapiro, Adam.
