Darwin was a great scientist.He studied living things in the world.
He said,“There are thousands of different living things.But in the past,the number was smaller.In the far past,a still smaller number.And at the be-ginning,perhaps only one.”
Darwin waited a long time before he put these things into a book.He always tried to add more and more facts;he wanted his ideas about evolution(进化)to be right.
It took him many years to write the book.At the beginning,people bought every copy.However,men of churches fought against Darwin's ideas.His story of the world was different from theirs.So either Darwin or the men of the churches must be wrong.But the churches didn't bring any new facts,or better ideas.They only brought angry words.
Later,Darwin wrote a book about the evolution of man.He said that man is also a kind of animal.And again,Darwin didn't just write down his own ideas,he filled his book with facts to support his theory.We know now that he was right.It's now widely believed that there have been mankind on our earth for more than a million years.We have found some of the palaeoanthropic(远古人的)bone fossils(化石)and those of other living things millions of years ago.These bone fossils have told us about the evolution of living things.
Like any other animal,man has slowly evoluted through time.But we can't find the bone of man like us from a few million years ago.The world's animals were different then.
But the bones can take us backwards(向后)through time into the past.And
they can help us with our study of the evolution of life.
