Question

Which statement is not consistent with Darwin’s theory of natural selection?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Earth is approximately 100,000 years old. Charles Darwin thought that the Earth was only around 6,000 years old, and that all evolution had taken place during that timespan. Knowledge that the Earth is approximately 100,000 years old would not be consistent with Darwin's theory. However, fossils indicating extinct organisms, organismal survival being environment dependent, individuals not evolving, and all living species being related to common ancestors are all consistent with Darwin's theory of natural selection.
