Abstract | Examined 5- to 12-year-olds' emerging understanding of the origins of species in two studies. Demonstrated systematic developmental pattern in children's explanations for biological origins. Found age-related shifts from mixed creationist and spontaneous generationist explanations, to exclusive creationism, and finally to evolutionist or creationist explanations. Found children's age, natural history knowledge, and parents' beliefs were independently related to children's explanations. (Author/KB) |
