Summary and Three Key Messages In Blackfoot Physics And European Minds, Francis David Peat (1997) examines the establishment of the “European consciousness” and compares this perspective with that of Indigenous science, calling specific attention to the animate world of the Blackfoot.

Darwin's finch changed traditional religious thinking about evolution. "It is not the strongest of species that survive, not the most intelligent that survives. It is the most adaptable to change." (good reads). Charles Darwin's discoveries changed a God centered belief to a God passive belief with the evolutionary process.

Considering that creationism had been ingrained into virtually every facet of English culture and society for the last one thousand years going back all the way into the dark ages of Europe, it wasn 't easy for naturalist theories to prevail. The Renaissance during the 1400 's and 1500 's certainly threw a wrench into the status-quo but it wasn 't until the Darwinian Evolution during the mid-1800s that these evolutionary beliefs became widely accepted. Early scientists and thinkers like Georges Cuvier, Comte De Buffon, and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck built the foundation of evolutionary principles that Charles Darwin would later capitalize on in his research. After the publication of his famous book On the Origin of Species, a backlash, especially
William Bradford was born in the late 1500s in the land of Austerfield, England. From a young age, Bradford saw corruption in the Church of England and became a Puritan or Separatist.

In the “Creation,” there are some significant people that Larsen mentions in his textbook. They are the narrator Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, Thomas Henry Huxley, Joseph Dalton Hooker, Charles Lyell, and Robert Hooke. And these two people Huxley and Hooker came to Darwin’s house in the beginning of the movie to convince Darwin writing a book to reveal the truth. At the later time, Darwin wrote the famous book and named it “On the Origin of Species,” which sold out on the date of publication and has changed the world. Also, there are the other influences of Darwin that are mentioned in the Larsen book.
In the eight years that he was in South East Asia, Alfred’s collection consisted of 110,000 insects, 7,500 shells, 8,050 bird skins, and 410 mammal specimens and many more new species. In these findings he discovered a new Borneo Bay cat, the world’s biggest bee called Megachile Pluto, Wallace's Golden Birdwing Butterfly, and Wallace's Standard-Wing Bird of Paradise. Later on in 1855, Alfred wrote his paper on his findings on the Theory of evolution and on natural selection. Also he sent a letter to Charles Darwin to pass it down to Charles Lyell. A year later in April 1856 there was a controversy of who actually discovered, The Theory of evolution, because Charles Darwin had actually discovered is twenty years earlier.
