A poll for the BBC Horizon programme in January 2006 revealed that fewer than 50% of Britons accept the theory of evolution as the best description for the development of life.

Over 2,000 participants took part in the survey, and were asked what best described their view of the origin and development of life:

* 48% selected evolution theory
* and the rest did not know.
