Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:09:13

Abstract

Darwin’s theory of evolution is one of the most influential scientific theories. At the same time it has been attacked from its beginnings to our present days. We will focus on the reception of Darwin’s theory, its reformulation and the debates it provoked in the 20th century. This discusson will range from social darwinism and synthetic theory of evolution to so called creationist theories.
