This title is wrong. It should say that half of America doesn't understand evolution.
There are many things that people confuse with the word "believe." However, not "believing" something is much different than not "understanding" something.
I'm not at all surprised that 50% don't believe (despite the obvious sample-size flaw) because even more than that don't understand it.
I think Anthropology should be required in all high schools nationwide. There's far too much evidence to be ignored.
