There are a number of '''theories of evolution'''. In 2000, scientist Simon Conway Morris wrote in the peer reviewed [[science]] journal ''Cell'': "When discussing organic [[evolution]] the only point of agreement seems to be: 'It happened.' Thereafter, there is little consensus, which at first sight must seem rather odd."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867400816797 |title=Evolution: Bringing Molecules into the Fold |accessdate=2015-08-31 |last=Morris |first=Simon Conway |date=2000-01-07 |work=Cell |publisher=Elsevier |doi=10.1016/S0092-8674(00)81679-7 }}</ref>

On June 28, 2022, ''[[The Guardian]]'' published an article entitled ''Do we need a new theory of evolution?'' which indicated: "A new wave of scientists argues that mainstream evolutionary theory needs an urgent overhaul... Strange as it sounds, scientists still do not know the answers to some of the most basic questions about how life on Earth evolved. Take eyes, for instance. Where do they come from, exactly? The usual explanation of how we got these stupendously complex organs rests upon the theory of [[natural selection]]."<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jun/28/do-we-need-a-new-theory-of-evolution ''Do we need a new theory of evolution?''] by Stephen Buranyi, The Guardian, June 28, 2022</ref>
