Question

Shaun was watching the movie 'The Meg', about a large and ancient species of shark called the Megalodon. He was shocked that this old species of shark was much larger than the biggest one today. He wondered if this was an example of the Theory of Evolution which was thought of by Charles Darwin. What do you think?

• A. Yes, shark sizes have decreased, and this is an example of the Theory of Evolution.
• B. Yes, shark sizes have increased, and this is an example of the Theory of Evolution.
• C. Yes, shark sizes have decreased, and this is not an example of the Theory of Evolution.
• D. Yes, shark sizes have increased, and this is not an example of the Theory of Evolution.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Yes, shark sizes have decreased, and this is an example of the Theory of Evolution.

Sharks have gotten smaller over time and have evolved to survive and perhaps even thrive in their habitat. The Megalodon shark was the last evolution of a very old species of shark. This line went extinct with the end of the Megalodon shark.
