If Charles Darwin never existed, it is possible that the theory of evolution by natural selection would have been delayed in its development. However, other scientists were also exploring similar ideas during Darwin's time, so it is likely that someone else would eventually have formulated the theory. Darwin's work catalyzed a shift in the way we understand the natural world, so the impact of his absence on scientific progress would have been significant.
A:I am unfamiliar with any theory of a race created before Adam and Eve. Dr Charles Stanley of the Southern Baptist Church holds a traditionalist view that Adam and Eve were the first human family. Science and history jointly offer a third position. They say that humans evolved long before the time attributed to Adam and Eve. The first humans did not live 'before' Adam and Eve, because Adam and Eve never really existed.
In simple terms, two things. One, that if a species is placed in a situation where it must either adapt or die, only the strongest of the species will adapt and survive. The weaker of the species will die. This also applies to groups of species in competition - the stronger will live, and the weaker will die, hence, "natural selection." Two, that, based on the natural selection and natural adaptation principles above, humans could not have been the way they are from the beginning of life on Earth. They evolved from another species, being an end result of a prior species' adaptation to their situation. (For the record, and for any who stumble upon this, Darwin NEVER said that we evolved from chimpanzees. He stated that humans have a common ancestor with those lovable - but dangerous - monkeys. And, as any well-rounded scientist should, he never stated that the above was fact, hence why it is a THEORY of evolution and not a LAW of evolution.)
No, giant humans have never existed. Neanderthals, who lived in Europe until tens of thousands of years ago, were massively built and far stronger than our species of humans, but certainly no taller than we are.
That's an interesting legal question, which will likely never be answered as there are no longer any Neanderthals around. If they still existed, I think that they would probably have the same rights as the Prawns in the film District 9. I would prefer equal rights though. Then again, I would campaign for equal rights for rabbits if I could!
There has NEVER been a scientific claim that humans are descendants of chimpanzees!However there are multiple clear sources of evidence that humans and chimpanzees have a common ancestral species roughly 3 million years ago. At that time neither humans or chimpanzees existed.
Charles Darwin's mother was of the middle class ( she was of the Wedgwood family ) and financially supported by Darwin's father, Robert. She never worked, to the best of my knowledge, and died when Charles Darwin was just seven years old.
Unprecedented
Charles Darwin's Intelligence Quotient was 165, or, as some state, 160. Because Charles never took any form of an IQ test, we can only estimate...however, definitely between 160 - 180.
If Antarctica never existed, then it never would have existed.
Nothing happened because Thursday never existed. It was a Tuesday on the 21st of January 1992.
Darwin married his first cousin, heiress to the Wedgewood fortune. He was an English landed gentleman who never had to work for money. He was good with money (or his wife was) and left a considerable fortune.
He would say that the environment shapes the microbe so that it will survive. Remember the saying: "the survival of the fittest"? Although Darwin never said that exactly.
Never, the Abacus existed more than 5000 years before Babbage was born and Babbage never had any need for one.
he never went to school. he worked with his dad on the farm
There is no evidence to suggest that Charles Darwin renounced his theory of evolution before his death. In fact, he continued to write in support of evolutionary ideas and even published a book called "The Descent of Man" in 1871. Darwin's theory of evolution remains one of the most influential and widely accepted scientific theories to this day.
Men have never been animals.Evolution is false,a man by the name of Charles Darwin made up the idea.
