Darwin

Darwin was a great scientist. He studied living things in the world. He said, “There are thousands of different living things. But in the past, the umber was smaller. In the far past, a still small number. In the beginning—perhaps only one.” Darwin waited for a long time before he put these things into a book. He always tried to add more facts. He wanted his ideas about evolution to be right. It took him many years to write the book. On the first day, people bought every copy. The men of the churches were against Darwin’s ideas. His story of the world was different from theirs. So either Darwin or the men of the churches must be wrong. But the churches didn’t give any new facts or better ideas. They only had angry words. Later, Darwin wrote a book about the evolution of man. He said that man is also a kind of animal. And again, Darwin didn’t just write down his own ideas. He filled his book with facts. We know now that he was right. There has been man for more than a million years. We have found some of their bones. Bones have told us a lot about the evolution of living thins. Like any other animal, man slowly changed through the time. But we can’t find the bones of man a few million time. But we can’t find any men at that time. The world’s animals were different then.
