Jean-Baptiste Lamarck thought that changes in an organism during it's lifetime would be inherited by its offspring. His hypothesis would predict that the children of a body builder would be stronger than the children of that same person if he or she had not been a body builder. Another common example: a giraffe's neck is long because each generation streches its neck a little further in its quest to reach the highest leaves. Reality: the giraffes with the longest necks survive longer and have more offspring than ones with shorter necks.
Lamarck believed that changes acquired during an animal's life could be inherited by their offspring. We now know that inheritance does not work in this way.
For example, if you are a body builder, and develop big muscles, your children will not inherit large muscles.
Inherirtance works through genes, which are inherited through the egg and sperm from the parents.
The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution was created in 1983.
The theory of evolution by natural selection. Charles Darwin. A+
I don't exactly know why evolutionists refer to it as a theory, but I do know this. A theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning. According to the definition of a theory, evolution is not a theory. Evolution cannot be based on observation. No one was here to observe it. So evolution should be classified as a hypothesis not a theory. It is only a guess as to how things came about.
Answer 1A theory. Just as E=Mc2 is the theory of relativity.Answer 2Evolution is both a fact and a theory, although the fact and the theory of evolution are - at least in my book - two different things:The fact of evolution is the observation that lifeforms evolve over time.The theory of evolution is the model that explains how they evolve, and how that applies to our findings in genetics and palaeontology. The theory of evolution incorporates a number of well-tested hypotheses, laws, and facts.
Random processes are not part of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Make me cum daddy~! Make me moan~!
Theory of evolution refers to animals and plants evolution along the time. Language evolution is another issue, not entirely related to the theory of evolution. It follows the theory of evolution on some way but it is related to culture evolution, not to the physical attributes evolution.
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.
Evolution is an observed and observable fact. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains many things about evolution. The theory generates testable hypothesis, as any good theory does. Remember, theory is the highest concept in science.
There are many books that describe the theory of evolution. For example, there is a book called Evolution: The Remarkable History of a Scientific Theory.
The scientific movement accepts the Theory of Evolution. The Theory is the basis for the science of biology.
Tribal communities are good examples of evolutionary theory of government, because the family unit is often important but overseen by a leader. A biblical example is the 12 tribes of Jacob because the head of the family formed the larger government. Each tribe was headed by one of Jacobs son, and Jacob ruled over them all.
the most prevalent theory of evolution is called natural selection.
The ISBN of The Theory of Evolution is 0-14-020433-4.
In Darwin's theory, natural selection plays the key role. Organisms vary through random mutations--slight changes from their parents. The environment determines which are most likely to survive. In Lamarck's theory, changes in phenotype are inherited. This is now known to be (largely) incorrect.
The theory of evolution is that all living things come from other living things.
