How did those views evolve with time and scientific understanding?

  • I think most mefarshim speak of "creatures" or "several species" (see for example Haamek Davar; Bereishis 1:21:1) and not specifically "10 or 100 etc...".

  • @robev Question seems perfectly clear, and is exactly the sort of thing I would be unsurprised to appear in a midrash.
