Fixity of species is a term which means all species remained unchanged throughout the history of the earth. This belief is generally not accepted by the majority in present times because of the vast amount of evidence supporting evolution.

He first used a binomial classification: Genus and species. Humans are Homo sapiens.Many at the time had problems with him putting humans into a classification like this because of religious views. Until Darwin's papers about 100 years later did the dispute over evolution really heat up.

What is the creation in situ theory?

This is a theory that was prevalent around the time of Charles Darwin in which people believed that God created all the species on the planet in the specific locations in which they were found. It also included the idea of 'fixity of species' in that a separate creation was required for each species in each location, and that species did not vary or change into another. Although none of these postulated ideas are found in scripture, people who held these views believed that they had a position which was in accord with scripture and honoured the creator. It is also possible that this was the majority view among Christians at the time, although a number of Christian scientists held a more empirical view, that species both moved or migrated and also changed over time.
