Evolution Misconceptions
Evolution is particularly vulnerable to misunderstandings around the scientific language, which can lead to confusion and misconceptions. Take the issue of the oft-discussed missing link, an idea that implies a connection between humans and apes that we haven’t discovered yet. “But that’s not quite how evolution works, because there is no broken chain between our ancestors and us,” says SciShow host Hank Green. “Evolution is about diversification not linear progression.” Green explains further and clears up some of the errant scientific language.
