Has Lamarck's theory of evolution been proved?

Scientists do not prove things. Lamarck's theory is long refuted as acquired characteristics and the use and disuse concepts are not explanations for evolution of populations.


What scientist contributed to evolutionary theory?

The theory of evolution was originally presented by Charles Darwin. Since the time of Darwin, there have been many other scientists who have contributed to evolutionary theory. One notable evolutionary scientist of the 21st century is Richard Dawkins.


Why does jean-baptiste lamarck's theory was not immediately accepted by the public?

The public, due mostly to religious reasons, was not ready for any transmutational theory and Lamarck's theory had no evidence to support it thus scientists of the time did not pay it much attention. Also Cuvier was Lamarck's enemy and denigrated the theory Lamarck developed.


What type of reason was used to develop the evolutionary theory?

Charles Darwin was one of the first influential scientists to support the evolution theory. On his voyages he came across the Galapagos islands which had a group of birds. He noticed that although these birds were of the same species at first, that they having been separated across the islands, developed different characteristics and soon were no longer able to interbreed. This was the start of the theory of evolution for Charles Darwin as he explained their change of characteristics by saying that they evolved.


What did Darwin call his theory?
