Larmark's theory was based on the idea that organisms inherited characteristics that they had acquired in life - so, if you have a scar your offspring will have scars. Darwin's theory assumed that offspring inherited characteristics from their parents, but they were more likely to survive to breed if there was advantage to those characteristics.

Divergent Evolution


What scientific approach was used to develop evolution?

The Scientific approach used to develop evolution, was when Charles Darwin Noticed the Similarities Between us and Chimps/Gorillas.Also when Darwin first Discovered the many different varities of finch, this Helped put together Charles Darwins Idea of what evolution was all about.By Alistair MarshallP.s Please Give credit atbeaches1@hotmail.co.uk


What are the differences between Darwin's theory of evolution and conflicting theories?

It is no longer Darwin's theory, as Darwin has been dead about 130 years. There are no credible alternatives to the modern theory of evolution by natural selection. So, the differences is; the theory of evolution by natural selection is supported by myriad lines of converging evidence and explains the natural phenomenon that is evolution very well. The " conflicting theories " have no evidence supporting them and explain nothing.


What is the difference between evolution and theories of evolution?

Evolution is a process, theories of evolution are theories which explain that process


What are six factors of macroevolution?

I'm not sure that there exists such a thing as "factors of macro-evolution". Macro-evolution is simply what happens when reproductively isolated populations continue to diverge as a result of micro-evolution. They drift apart genetically, behaviourally and morphologically, so that the differences between them become greater and greater. The mechanisms that cause this are reproductive variation and differential reproductive success, the principal mechanisms of evolution.

Differences between evolution and paleontology?

Evolution is the theory that attempts to explain how changes in life forms take place over time. Paleontology is the science and study of the fossil lifeform record.

What are similarities between Darwins theory and Lamarcks theory of evolution?

similarities: 1. Both made many similar observations 2. Both observed a wide diversity of life forms that are adopted to their environment 3. Both proposed that species evolve -Traits are passed to offspring. -Driven by environment. -Both proposed evolution with gradual change.
