Consciousness in the Cell 1ed
The theory of evolution was put forward by the naturalist
Charles Darwin in the middle of the 19th century, when the level of
science and technology was rather primitive, compared with
today's. Nineteenth-century scientists worked in relatively simple
laboratories. With the very unsophisticated equipment available to
them, scientists couldn't even see bacteria. Moreover, they were
still under the influence of many false beliefs left over from the
Middle Ages.
