Editor's Policy
In the first issue, the Editor, Ludwig Erwin Ketterfeld described the magazine's editorial policy:
"Evolution will be non-political, so that all upholders of academic freedom can support and use it no matter how they differ on other issues. It will be non-religious, never making any effort to reconcile science with religion. Nor will it make atheism its mission. It will carry the positive message of facts from every field of natural science and leave it to the reader to make his own mental readjustment." (p. 8)
