You Won’t Believe How Evolutionary Ideas Originally Spread!

As evolutionary ideas continued to grow among the scientific and lay communities, missing link exhibits in sideshows became more and more commonplace. Naturalistic ideas of man’s origins were disseminated first among the scientific elite and then among the general public through such exhibits. And once popularized, they were then used by scientists as observable examples of human evolution. And this created an ideological cycle of cross-promotion that bolstered belief in more naturalistic ideas of man’s origins among all strata of society in clear contradiction of the plain reading of God’s Word.

In this series, Calvin Smith from Answers in Genesis–Canada looks at past “freak shows” that advertised and demeaned humans with deformities, often linking them to animals or transitory evolutionary beings.
