The theory of evolution, pioneered by Charles Darwin, is a polarizing issue in the United States. Primarily for its conflict with religious doctrines. Today, about 67% of Americans believe in the theory of evolution, but this belief in evolution is not constant among state lines. As depicted by the visualization above, states located in the south east have the lowest levels of belief in evolution. Meanwhile, the north east had the highest levels of belief in evolution. Possible reasons for different attitudes towards evolution could be attributed to religion, education, and scientific literacy.
