One hundred and fifty years after the evolution theory, More4 News finds in a few schools, the evolution battle is far from won.
One hundred and fifty years ago today, a scientific paper was presented in London. Its co-author was Charles Darwin.
Its subject was "the tendency of species to form varieties; and the perpetuation of varieties and species by natural means of selection", or evolution, in a word.
Scientists are celebrating the birth of a theory whose basic principles are now unquestionably accepted by almost all experts but some faith schools teach evolution side by side with creationism and others don't teach evolution at all.
