Basic framework to construct evolution outreach activities inclusive for people with blindness. Two types of materials are depicted: a collection of general easy access (Mollusk shells) and a classic evolution textbook example of adaptive speciation (the adaptive radiation of cichlids in the Tanganyika lake). Following this framework, all gathered materials are able to be adapted for inclusive outreach activities, independently of amount of branches represented and logistics. The pictures of the mollusk phylogeny on the round table are from a second activity, at an inclusive school, where the available room was significantly smaller than the original 125 m2 space, thus more activities per floor-phylogeny branch (8 instead of 21) were included
