* ArtisticLicenseBiology: No, there is no missing link between ''Australopithecus'' and ''Homo sapiens'', and there is no chance the former evolved directly into the latter — there are several intermediary forms between such as ''H. habilis'' and ''H. erectus''.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Darwin, though his views had changed somewhat by the time of his death, initially saw no conflict between his Christianity and the theory of natural selection, and his belief in a literal Garden of Eden tale is slightly anachronistic — until the rise of the fundamentalist movement some decades later, most mainstream Christians viewed the creation tale in Genesis as largely metaphorical.

The Sixth Doctor takes Evelyn on a trip to the prison colony island of Galapagos, to have dinner with a very young {{Charles Darwin}}. Six has done a bit of preperation to announce his presence, and is posing as a fellow scientist (well, ''as UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein'') in order to make Darwin trust him.

* HumansAreFlawedHumansAreSpecial: Alternately played straight and subverted in different ways throughout the story. [[spoiler: Humans are naturally-evolved, a primate race, another branch of the great apes. No, wait, they're the results of Tulok's genetic engineering. But this makes them inherently susceptible to Silurian mind control. But Darwin posits that maybe, over thousands and millions of years, humanity has evolved enough to become their own organism, and have a chance to resist. By asserting their will and finding what they truly believe in, it seems that maybe he's right, and they manage to resist Tuvok's control. Then it turns out that no, actually, they're still powerless, and it was Shvak's psychic shielding that protected them all along.]]

* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Tulok seems to genuinely care about his creations, and despairs when they're released into the toxic surface world. [[spoiler: Then it turns out that his "creations" are humans, and he deliberately raised them to sentience and intelligence, describing them as near his own people. This does not stop him from arranging the death of most of his entire race, and although he created humans, he has few issues wiping them out and reducing them to a food species once more.]]
