Abstract	Teaching human evolution should be initialized by understanding the learners' perspective to yield fruitful results. This study was conducted to aid in achieving that objective and provide ways for educators to develop strategies that learners can perceive and appreciate, particularly those who are not inclined toward science. This study also utilized a qualitative research design and descriptive approach to understanding the learners' perspective in Evolutionary concepts. The majority of the respondents are believers in the theory of human evolution. Interviews were conducted to gather data. Most respondents expressed their belief that modern humans are successors of ape-like organisms. The majority of the same informants mentioned their need for clarity about the stages that humans underwent during history, while almost all of those respondents stated the utilization of various graphic materials to elucidate these evolutionary concepts. It was recommended that educators engage in learning methods that call the attention and those that the students can easily understand. (As Provided).
