The First Presidency rules that Apostle Joseph Fielding Smith's anti-evolutionary 'Man: His Origin and Destiny' should not be used for study in LDS seminaries and institutes. McKay expresses from 1954 on: "On the subject of organic evolution the Church has officially taken no position. The book 'Man, His Origin and Destiny' was not published by the Church, and is not approved by the Church."
