Time to turn on the lights! Everything about anatomy and physiology is the way it is because of evolution. EVERYTHING. Biology and evolution are inseparable, IF you are to go beyond memorization of factoids and come to understand why and how things got that way, what they are doing now, and what they are likely to do and be in the future given the changing environmental pressures on them..... You can teach a biology class without directly addressing evolution, but even if you never once say the word it is staring you in the face. It is unavoidable in the sense that gravity is unavoidable. To avoid gravity you must avoid large masses. To avoid evolution you must avoid life. Biology is the study of life.
