Why did Darwin not tell anyone of his theory?
Most think that he was quite aware of the religious and scientific controversies the publication of his theory would engender. Plus, he was so meticulous in regards to evidence that he wanted to publish a book that would have been many pages longer than the ' abstract ' he did publish. Alfred Russel Wallace forced him to publish an ' abstract ' to flesh out there theory and present it to the public.

Who proposed the theory of continental drift when?
Alfred Wegener proposed it. He noticed similarities in fossils in places like Western Africa and Eastern South America. Then, he noted that those two continents could fit together, like puzzle pieces. He proposed that they used to be joined, and although his theory was not taken seriously at first, we now know he was correct.
How do you think is the Darvin's theory about creating of the people is true or wrong?

What was wrong with Alfred wegners theory?
People did not agree with Alfred Wegener because he could not provide a driving force for his theory of Continental Drift, now known as Plate Tectonics. People used to think that the crust of the Earth was solid, so how could continents move about in something solid? It was only when it was proved that there were 2 types of crust, Ocean and Continental, and that the ocean crust was relatively new, that geologists were able to work out a driving force for the whole process. Convection currents in the mantle.
How did Alfred wegener test his theory?
i dont think anyone couldve tested that theory since no computer models in the 1800s. it was supported by fossil and glaciation evidence though. and offcourse later supported furthur by plate tectonics
