How is Darwin's theory of Evolution and Lamarck's theory of Evolution alike?
The primary difference between Darwin's and Lamarck's approaches to evolution (if I remember correctly) was that Darwin believed that evolution operated primarily through breeding and death: members of a species that have unproductive characteristics tend to die early and have less opportunity to produce offspring, and so their characteristics are not passed on to future generations. Lamarck, by contrast, thought that environmental conditions could exert a direct (if slight) influence on the genome, so that parents would tend to produce offspring that were better suited to the environment they lived in. For example, Darwin would explain the thick fur and subcutaneous fat deposits of cold-climate animals by saying that members of the species with less fur and fat would die more easily and earlier in cold weather; Lamarck would explain the same result by saying that the cold climate induced the organisms to produce more fur and fat, and their offspring would be born with a greater capacity to produce those things than their parents. Lamarck's theory has not been disproved - scientists still do not have a clear understanding of the process of evolution - but for various non-scientific reasons it is less accepted in the scientific community (primarily, I think, because it opens the door to a teleological argument abut the nature of species that most scientists find distasteful). It is important to point out that Darwin's theory was that of Natural Selection and The Origin of Species, and he was not proposing any system separate from or one that discredited classical Creationist theory. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, however, coined the phrase Evolution.
Did Levi Coffin receive win any awards prizes or medals?
yes he won the dork award
Did Charles Darwin win any awards from he's theory of evolution?
He won The Royal Medal (1853), The Wallaston Medal (1859), The Copley Medal (1864) - ALJ ;) The royal medal is awarded to three people annually by the Royal Society. The Copley medal is also awarded by the royal society each year and is the oldest Royal Society medal still being awarded. The Wollaston Medal is an award for geology and the highest award given by the Geological Society of London
What is weismans experiment to disprove lamarckism?
August Weismann disproved, or attempt to disprove the theory of Lamarckism (which states that: the adaptive trait gained by an organism during its life time can transfer to the new generation of organism; in contrast, proponents of this theory states: changes to genes can only be done through natural selection, and the experiences of changes to an organism's genes during its life time does not transfer), by cutting off the tails of mice, for many generations to observe changes to their traits. However, after many generations, no changes to the tail lengths of mice were observed. Thus, with this experiment and many that followed it, most considered Lamarckism to be disproved. However, during recent years, Lamarckism has garnered considerable interests, as observations have shown that Lamarckism does exist. For example, the epidemics of the population whose previous generation has experienced starvation is more likely to produce children, who, for generations, is likely to have genes with higher risk of high blood pressure.
Why is Eric Dennison so gullible?
Some scientists believe it is because Eric just doesn't have all the facts. Others believe Eric just likes to follow popular opinion. One reason being researched by famed scientist Dr. Morgan Nordahl winner of several awards from all over the world such as the Smartest Coolest Person on Earth Award and Best Lineman Ever Known Award, believes it is because Eric did not watch the whole documentary that he was told to watch. Scientist Dr. Morgan Nordahl will not know for sure without more investigation. As the research continues and until we get more facts, we have to conclude that the most probable reason is that Eric does not know that anyone can answer a wiki question without any confirmed credentials whatsoever. In conclusion I would like to say I love you Eric and I hate to break it to you but we did not go to the moon.
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.

How did lamark propose that species change over time?
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck suggested an idea that Darwin would later expand upon. Lamarck suggested that any changes a creature underwent during its lifetime would be passed down to the offspring. He also believed unused parts would just go away over time, due to this.
What is the book written by Lamarck?
Lamarck wrote the three-volume Flora Française, and a few years later the Système des Animaux Sans Vertèbres. If just one of these two monumental undertakings is not enough to put this remarkable investigator into the top of the ranks of the naturalists, then no one belongs there.Are you a student of biology, either the general science of any of its more specific branches? Use the link to an article on Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Read this and know your roots as you pay your respects to someone who spent the bulk of his life to the advancement of human knowledge in the life sciences.

What film was used in the video the boys of summer?
First, this is a truly outstanding music video, which won the "Video of the Year" award from MTV in 1985. It was directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. But he didn't use any old films. The video was shot in 1984 and Mondino intentionally shot it in black and white, like a retrospective of the narrator's life. He recreated (fictional) scenes from the narrator's childhood, teenage years, and middle age. The style of the video was intended as a tribute to old and classic movies of the past.

What was wrong with lamarck's theory of evolution'?
His two main concepts, acquired characteristics and a innate " desire " to evolve, were both unsupported by any evidence and were not the way evolution happens. So, Lamarck's " theory " ( in the vulgar sense ) was utterly refuted by the actual evidence and process of evolution.
