Genetics & Evolution: Controversy Around Natural Selection š¤ GCSE Biology Learning & Revision
Manage episode 481015088 series 3139280
In this episode, we will discuss the controversy around natural selection
Darwin's early theory of natural selection faced considerable resistance. This opposition stemmed partly from its conflict with prevailing religious views on creation.
Additionally, some scientists found the initial evidence presented insufficient.
A key challenge was the lack of understanding regarding inheritance, as the concept of genes was yet to be established, leaving a gap in explaining how traits passed between generations.
Consequently, acceptance of Darwin's ideas within the scientific community was gradual.
