So, from a single bone the zoologist could often tell what class or even genus the animal belonged to.
In 2023, NCERT, under the rationalization scheme, removed Darwin's theory of evolution from class 10th school textbooks. Only students who take opt for biology in class 11th will be taught Darwin's theory of evolution. [118] [119]
