People in the United States are much less likely to accept Darwin’s idea that humans evolved from apes than adults in other Western nations, a number of surveys show….In the U.S., only 14 percent of adults thought that evolution was “definitely true,” while about a third firmly rejected the idea. In European countries, including Denmark, Sweden, and France, more than 80 percent of adults surveyed said they accepted the concept of evolution.
