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. It needs to change in school and college curriculum. Since the man is
seen on Earth he has always been a man," he said while speaking to reporters
on Friday in Aurangabad.
The IPS officer-turned-politician was in this central
Maharashtra city to attend the ‘All India Vaidik Sammelan.’
"Nobody,
including our ancestors, in written or oral, have said they saw an ape turning
into a man, no books we have read or the tales told to us by our grandparents
had such a mention," the minister added. (..)
