Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, two biologists in
Victorian England, claimed that all living species were descended
from one another as a result of chance processes, and that they con-
tinued developing by those same changes until human beings final-
ly emerged.
The first study on evolution by way of natural selection was
jointly prepared by Darwin and Wallace. Instead of competing with
one another on the subject of the theory of evolution, each admitted
the other’s contribution to this fantastical theory. Wallace even sup-
ported Darwin’s theory of natural selection in his book entitled
Darwinism.
When he heard of the book, Darwin’s response was, “You
should not speak of Darwinism for it can as well be called
Wallacism.” 116
However, the two biologists were shortly to take different paths
with regard to their illusory theory.
The theory of evolution maintains that living species descend-
ed from one another, with all their differing anatomical and physi-
cal characteristics, by way of natural selection—a chance and there-
fore unconscious process. According to this claim, life that began
with a bacterium gave rise to the whole variety of more than a mil-
lion life forms existing today. (For detailed information, see The
Evolution Deceit by Harun Yahya.)
Darwin believed that the principle of natural selection did
not account for only the emergence of morphological features
such as toes or the nose, but that it also determined brain struc-
ture and therefore, mental capacities. In Darwin’s view,
