Six in ten Americans believe that humans have evolved over time while a third holds the belief that humans have not evolved. Only seven percent does not know.
I recently made a chart showing that in 2009, although 71% of US adults had heard of Charles Darwin and knew at least a little about his theory of evolution, on 41% agreed that enough information existed to support his theory. Your chart shows that percentage is actually becoming higher, and I see your stats are from 2013. That's exciting! Still very sad IMO that 33% of adults think humans have not evolved.
