An association map of evolution (Vererbung) indicates two meanings, 'money' and 'gene', among high school students in the Rhein district in Germany. What the students know about evolution includes biological words, social development and alteration of planets in transferred meaning. High school students in Germany know more about human gene than Japanese students at Nagasaki University. What high school students know about human gene seems to depend on the media. Over 20% among the testees in Germany remembered critical words or words to reconsider about human gene. As a background of ethical consciousness, a association map of Ethik is shown. Ethik is combined with religion in Germany. On the other hand Japanese university students in Nagasaki remember names of European thinkers from the stimulus word.
