Abstract

The Theory of Evolution is considered as a revolution in scientific thinking, as well as one of the pillars for the understanding of modern science; thus, the importance and the impact that the knowledge derived from this theory can have in society are fundamental axis in the educational systems. Therefore, in the present study, the nuclear concepts of 161 students of the sixth year of the city of Badajoz are analyzed about the origin of the human being in Prehistory, using a cognitive map type test, three schemes were observed: creationist - evolutionist - mixed, and the students’ predilection for models of religious character before scientists.
