It should be changed in curriculum

Union Minister Satyapal Singh has claimed that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution of man is “scientifically wrong” and it needs to be changed in school and college curriculum.

Mr. Singh, the Minister of State for Human Resource Development, said our ancestors had nowhere mentioned that they had observed ape turning into man. “Darwin’s theory [of evolution of humans] is scientifically wrong. It needs to change in school and college curriculum. Since the time man was seen on Earth he has always been a man,” he told reporters here on Friday.

The IPS officer-turned-politician was in this central Maharashtra city to attend the ‘All India Vaidik Sammelan.’

“Nobody, including our ancestors, in writing or orally, have said they saw an ape turning into a man,” he said. No books we have read or the tales told to us by our grandparents had such a mention,” the minister added.
