(由于进化论与一些宗教信条的基本原则并不相容,对于该理论的传播造成阻力。一时间,进化论有时被错误地解释为人类祖先是猴子而不是一个古老的和已灭绝的祖先,这成为教会和教育部门反对的主要内容。这种冲突一直持续“猴子审判”期间。尽管如此,进化论已确定成为了科学原则根深蒂固的理论,并在大多数宗教信仰中得到认可。) Scopes trial :1925年,当时美国田纳西州的法律禁止在中学讲授违反圣经的理论,而Scopes却违反这条法律讲授了进化论。因此Scopes被“神创论”的支持者告上了法庭,而这个审判就是有名的猴子审判。,After Darwins theory of evolution(达尔文进化论之后的现代进化论),“Evolutionary tree”(生物进化树),Thank you,Chen shuhuiApril 1st,2015,
