Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Scopes trial, also known as the "Monkey Trial," took place in 1925 and revolved around the teaching of evolution in schools, which was illegal in Tennessee at the time. One of the outcomes was that publishers, wary of controversy and potential legal issues, removed or diminished references to Darwin's theories of evolution from science textbooks to avoid conflict with laws like Tennessee's. This was a move to ensure their materials were acceptable in states with similar statutes.
