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.
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.
Is Lamarck or Darwins theory more credible?
Darwin's. Duh. Lamarck believed in evolution by acquired traits; i.e., if a blacksmith hammers all day, his arm becomes strong. By Lamarck's theory, the blacksmith's strength would be transferred to his offspring, but this is never observed.
How did Lamarck's theory of evolution vary from Darwin's?
Lamarck thought that evolution could be effected by changes in the body, rather that strictly by the survival (or rather the death) of offsprings.

What was wrong about lamarck's theory of how species evolve?
Lamarck's theory is based on acquired characteristics. In other words if you break your arm your future children will be born with broken arms.
Theory of Evolution by Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics?

Discuss lamarck's theory?
Lamarck's theory of evolution, known as Lamarckism, proposed that acquired characteristics could be passed down to offspring. This idea suggested that organisms could develop new traits during their lifetime and then pass them on to their offspring. However, this theory has been largely discredited in favor of Darwin's theory of natural selection, which emphasizes the role of genetic variation and environmental factors in driving evolutionary change.
