Scientists were having the same problem that Darwin thought would happen. In Darwin's mind his theory took away the need for a God. Darwin's theory of evolution challenged both the Religious and the science community. Some scientists still have the same shallow mind that other scientists had during Darwin's time.
I think that Anton Van Leeuwenhoek was around the same time of Robert Hooke, but I am not sure.
species stay the same
Scientists use phylogenic comparative methods to track evolutionary changes over time.

In England alone, about five million people lived at the same time as Shakespeare.
Ennius, the Roman poet, lived during the Roman Republic, approximately from 239-169 BC. Odoacer, the Germanic warrior who deposed the last Roman emperor in the West, lived during the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD. They did not live at the same time; Ennius lived much earlier than Odoacer.
There were many species of flying reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era. Some examples of them are Pteranodon, Pterodactyl, and Quetzalcoatlus.
Yes, all animals we have now lived then, just some that lived then have gone extinct so we don't have them now.
History is written by people that lived during that historic time. For instance, a person who lived 3000 years ago in Ancient Greece maybe had a journal, and wrote about everyday life in it. Then, 3000 years later (today), scientists find the journal and copy all of the important info into history books. That person that lived with Greece 3000 years ago was the one who wrote history. Same goes with Babylon, Rome, Mongolia, China etc. Remeber, history is written by the people during that time.
No, they were not. Odoacer, a barbarian warlord, lived during the late 5th and early 6th centuries, while Ennius, a Roman writer, lived during the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE.
If the fossils that the scientists find are very evolutionarily similar, for example, if they are the same species or genus, then that means that the sedimentary rock layers have some correlation to each other since the two extinct animals that turned into the fossils most likely lived during the same time period. This hints that the two rock layers were both exposed to the atmosphere during the same time period.
The Maya of Mexico lived around the same time as the Mound Builders
Scientists have proven that mammoths lived the same time as humans by finding fossils by each other ( human and mammoth fossils.) then doing dating tests to see if they're the same number of years old. And yes indeed fossils of humans and mammoths have been found that have been alive the same year as each other. This also proves that humans lived in the time of the ice age. There are also mammoth bones that have been cut by spears and by stone knives. There are also many examples of cave drawings of the woolly mammoth and carbon dating of fossils show them to have been around as recently as 9,000 years ago. Am I the only one here who has access to Google? :)
Queen Victoria and Abraham Lincoln lived at the same time as Charles Dickens.

He lived in the Victoria Age.
