While there is live debate among philosophers about whether understanding is itself a kind of knowledge, it is generally agreed that understanding is something beyond mere knowledge of facts. To illustrate the plausibility of this idea, consider a student who simply parrots what their biology teacher tells them. This student knows, for example, that the DNA sequences of humans and chimpanzees are extraordinarily similar because the teacher has said this. However, the student may be clueless as to why this is so, or the importance of this similarity within the larger context of biology. The student may have no grasp of how this fact provides support for evolution in general and common descent in particular. What is missing? It seems that whereas the student simply knows these isolated facts, understanding __________________________________. The person with understanding grasps biology as an interrelated body of information with many connections between the various facts. This person can appreciate how these various facts depend upon one another. Furthermore, the person who understands biology can use this understanding to explain and sometimes predict particular biological phenomena.
