What role did Lamarck think acquired characteristics played in evolution?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Lamarck put two ideas into his theory of evolution thought to be true in his time.
1. Use and disuse - people lose characteristics they don't use and keep the other ones .
2. Individuals inherit the traits of their ancestors.
So instead of the environment selecting traits, he said that the species selected the traits.

Describe how natural selection might have caused differential reproduction among the ancestors of a fast swimming predatory fish such as the barracuda?
Natural selection is when biological organisms with favorable traits survive and reproduce more successfully than organisms that do not possess such traits. Organisms with negative or less useful traits survive and reproduce less successfully than organisms lacking such harmful traits. Natural selection played a huge part in the evolution of the great barracuda. The barracuda had to adapt their distinctive shape, design, and skills over the years and did so through many generations.

What is the evolution of Santa Claus?
Santa Claus is a wholly American derivative of the Christian St. Nicholas- who was actually what we would now call Russian Orthodox. The feast of St. Nick is celebrated on December 6, strictly speaking , he is not even in Advent, let alone Christmas. this fact of course is ignored or suppressed by Clausists. Coca-Cola played up the Red and White costume and Santa has been used by countless advertisers including those for Adult style vices as Gambling ( special $5.00 lottery tickets- Just Five Bucks- with Reindeer at the ready in a yule-2002 bus-side poster) cigarettes, and arguably alcoholic beverages. A fall from Grace indeed. Saints preserve us!

Why did scientists reject Lamark's idea of evolution?
Lamarck led the way for and had ideas that helped Darwin. However, his observations regarding the mechanisms of evolution were, with the exception of one, totally backwards. To summarize Lamarck, he hypothesized that organisms somehow had a choice in their traits and could change to fit the environment (he called these ideas his theories of need and his theory of use and disuse). The part he was correct on was that should an organism change, they would pass the traits on to their offspring. Darwin said, basically, the opposite. Darwin observed that organisms were born with slight differences (variations) and those variations might give some members of a species an advantage in the struggle to survive in the environment. The reward for survival was that the organism got to reproduce and pass those traits on to their offspring. Of course, the offspring might show some variation and the whole process would continue to repeat. However, the bottom line with Darwin (and contrary to Lamarck) was that an organism had no choice in its traits as an organism is born with or without the advantage. Darwin, without knowing its mechanisms, recognized that genetics played a part in evolution. Darwin died not knowing of Mendel's work on genetics which, of course, substantiates Darwin's theory.
