Cuvier
He saw organisms as integrated wholes. Where no body part could be modified without changing and interfering with the natural balance it had. -
Lyell
Earth is a million years old and that it had changed over time, they helped darwin wit some of their ideas. -
Beagle Voyage
When Darwin went to his trip in the voyage he spends his life in the ocean. After his trip he is a changed man interested in nature and discovering nature’s laws. 1831-1836 -
Neanderthal
Found a fossil skull of a neanderthal, they though it was related to human evolution. A huge debate was made about the descents of Adam and Eve. -
Wallace
He wrote to darwin, evolution by natural selection based on his studies on plants and animals. -
Evolution Accepted
Some scientists still denied the theory of evolution, but a few years later after darwin’s book, evolution was a big thing on science. -
Origin of Species
Darwin’s book gets very influential. About domestic animals evolving through breeding or natural selection species start to evolve. It challenges god’s existence but Darwin stresses and says his work is not a denial of god’s existence. -
Ape Debate
They attack darwin about him saying apes and humans are related, a debate starts. -
Descendence of a man
Darwin’s new book focuses on human evolution and stresses the sexual selection int the driving of life. -
Horse Fossils
Thomas Huxley visits fossil hunter Othniel Charles Marsh. They discovered fossils of ancient fossils and how horses evolved during time. -
Darwin's Burial
Darwin’s tummbed was rest in England. -
Radioactivity
Scientist Antoine Henri discovers calculations about radioactivity on earth’s age. Proving that earth is more than 4.3 billions more. -
Piltdown man
There’s a missing link between humans and primates. The fossil called the piltdown man proved that humans and primates are related. -
First Anti-Evolution Bills
First anti evolutoon bills passed. Spurred by William Jennings Bryan and a growing grassroots movement, six Southern and border states considered anti-evolution proposals. Two measures pass. In Oklahoma, a ban is placed on public schools textbooks that teach the "Materealist Conseption of History (i.e.) the Darwin Theory of Creation" -
Man like Ape
Raymond Dart announces that prehistoric man looks like an ape. -
textbook
Fearing the loss os sales in the West and East publishers remove evolution from biology’s textbooks. -
Anti-evolution bills
35 new anti-evolution bills appear. 3 states pass laws on the evolution and 20 didn’t. In 1930 strict laws were made about not teaching evolution. 1925-1930 -
Tenesee Law
Tennessee law bans teaching human evolution. By an overwhelming majority, the Tennessee legislature passes a bill that makes it a misdemeanor for public school teachers "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man had descended from a lower order of animal." -
Neo Darwinson
Discovered mutations in organisms and that inherited changes can be spread throughout a population’s mechanism. It is a combination theory between Darwin’s natural selection and his. -
Evolution Shunned
Less than half of all high school in subject science learned about evolution in the 1940’s. -
Supreme Court
In 1947 in the supreme court they stated that they could not pass any religion saying is better than other.They banned religious instructors in 1948. 1947-1948 -
Pope pios XII
He considers evolution as a serious hypothesis. He leads catholics to accept evolution by saying this words “If the human body takes it’s origin from preexisting living matter, the spiritual soul is immediately created by god” -
Origins of Life
Stanley Miller produces amino-acids indicating that the first life on earth could be created by natural process. -
DNA
Scientists have knew that genes are made of traits but they were not sure how then a double-helix structure of DNA helps find out what DNA is and how it works. -
Human and apes
They see striking similarities between apes and humans via DNA. Marie Claire King and Allie Wilson estimate that humans have 98% of ape’s genes. -
Supreme Court on evolution
Lawsuits begin to challenge the anti-evolutionist in the south. Evolution is now being learned in public schools in the south. -
DNA codes
They see now how organisms have changed through life-times and how they evolved. -
Textbook disclaimer
The schools say that even evolution is taught, it’s not to influence wether god created earth or not. 1994-1995 -
Pope John Paul II
Open the doors to let evolution in. He wrote: “It is indeed remarkable.” “That this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries and in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory.” -
Science Standards
The study stresses that creationist views have no place in the science classroom, yet also sounds a conciliatory note: "Scientists and science teachers do well to keep in mind that a large majority of Americans believes that faith in God is the surest way to appreciate the wonder and grandeur of life itself. Schools need to recognize and honor that faith." -
Human Genome
It reveals human evolution. With the first draft completed, scientists see more and discover more. Humans have genes in common with fruit flies and yeast. These genomics give scientists clues about how we have evolved within all the living organisms.
