- Davros tried to determine the ultimate evolution of the Kaled race and to direct it. (DW: Genesis of the Daleks).
- Light and the Reverend Ernest Matthews separately found the concept abhorrent, though for different reasons, the former because of his love of stasis and hatred of change, the latter because he found it repugnant to have evolved from monkeys. (DW: Ghost Light)
