From: Improving How Evolution Is Taught: Facilitating a Shift from Memorization to Evolutionary Thinking
1. An individual can evolve within its lifetime. |
2. Evolution is called a “theory” because there is still debate about it in the scientific community. |
3. Charles Darwin was the first person to propose the idea of evolution. |
4. Evolution is a progressive process that works like a ladder, with less-evolved organisms on the lower rungs and more-evolved organisms on the higher rungs. We can therefore refer to “higher” and “lower” organisms. |
5. Humans evolved from chimpanzees. |
6. Evolution is essentially “chance.” |
