Constructing a Theory

To come up with his ideas, Darwin studied plants and animals around the world. His conclusion was that the amazing range of living things we see here now, have come from simpler creatures from long ago.  The timescales are huge so don’t expect to see species changing before your eyes!

Darwin’s book, “On the Origin of Species” was published over 150 years ago. Since that day, the theory of evolution has been fine-tuned, but essentially it is still supported by biologists today.
