Did Charles Darwin renounce his theory of human evolution at the end of his life? Did ancient people find dinosaurs? Is it true that Russia is the cradle of humanity, and who is the Yeti - perhaps one of our ancestors who got lost through the centuries?

These are anti-evolutionist theories, and legends generated by mass culture, and pseudo-scientific ideas that exist among educated and well-read people.
