Almost a third of Americans think the jury is still out on evolution



A majority of Americans believe humans are the product of evolution, but nearly a third — or 29% — believe the scientific community is itself divided on the issue, according to a recent survey by Pew Research Center.

In reality, scientific opinion on evolution is nearly unanimous: 98% of scientists connected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (the world’s largest independent scientific society) believe that humans have evolved over time.Pew human evolution survey statistics 2

It seems plausible that the figures would be linked, and that people who don't believe in evolution would also think that it's a big debate in science.

But though it may seem counterintuitive, almost half of the Americans who deny evolution acknowledge that scientists agree that they're wrong.

Pew shared this fact — among others — in an article honoring "Darwin Day." Were he still with us, the English naturalist would be turning a ripe 206 years old today.
