Union minister Satyapal Singh has claimed that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution of man was “scientifically wrong” and it needs to be changed in school and college curriculum. Singh, minister of state for human resource development, said our ancestors have nowhere mentioned that they saw an ape turning into a man. “Darwin’s theory (of evolution of humans) is scientifically wrong. Since the man is seen on Earth he has always been a man,” he said while speaking to reporters on Friday in Aurangabad. “No books we have read or the tales told to us by our grandparents had such a mention,” the minister added.
