更多"Darwin’s great work, the Origin of "的相关试题:
[单项选择]Darwin’s great work, the Origin of Species, is now generally accepted as one of the most important books ever written. But when it first came out in 1859, it was both derided and bitterly condemned by scientists and laymen.
Much of opposition to the Origin of Species arose from Darwin’s claim that all living creatures, including man, are somehow related. Many people were outraged by the suggestion that man shared a common ancestor with animals such as apes and monkeys. They attacked Darwin for saying that man had descended from the apes.
But Darwin never actually said this. He believed that modern men and modern apes have both descended from the same ancestor. But at some time in pre-history, millions of years ago, men and apes began to develop separately, and ever since have continued to take on different characteristics. Today, more than 90 years after Darwin’s death, this is the opinion which scientists continue to hold.
In his works, Darwin described the progression
A. Modern discoveries are the same as Darwin’s.
B. Fossils are also very important in modern research.
C. Modern technology proves that Darwin was not quite right.
D. Modern research is more advanced than Darwin’s in many ways.
