Darwin did not actually meet Lamarck in person. Lamarck's ideas on evolution were published before Darwin's time, and Darwin was familiar with them through his readings. Darwin's theory of natural selection differed from Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.

What scientists DID NOT influence Darwin's theory of natural selection?

Darwin read the book Lamarck wrote and said that he did not get one idea from it as it was ludicrous in content. So, Lamarck would be the one scientist that did not influence Darwin according to Darwin.

Who had better results and conclusion out of lamarck and Darwin?

Darwin, of course. Lamarck did not have the evidence to back up his acquired characteristics and use and disuse concepts, but Darwin had massive amounts of evidence and well structured arguments for his theory of natural selection.


What scientist had ideas about evolution and adaptation that influenced Darwin?

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, a French biologist, proposed the idea of inheritance of acquired characteristics and the concept of transformational evolution. These ideas influenced Darwin's thinking on evolution and adaptation. However, Darwin's theory of natural selection ultimately diverged from Lamarck's ideas.


How did Jean Baptiste Lamarck influence Charles Darwin?

Jean Baptiste Lamarck's idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics, although mostly rejected today, was one of the first systematic explanations for evolution, influencing Darwin's thinking. While Darwin's theory of natural selection differed significantly from Lamarck's, Lamarck's work helped pave the way for questioning and exploring evolutionary mechanisms that ultimately led to Darwin's own theory of evolution by natural selection.

What major way did Darwin's ideas diverge from Lamarck's?

Darwin's ideas diverged from Lamarck's primarily in their mechanisms of evolution. While Lamarck proposed that traits acquired during an organism's lifetime could be passed on to offspring (the inheritance of acquired characteristics), Darwin introduced the concept of natural selection, where variations that enhance survival and reproduction are more likely to be passed on. Darwin emphasized random genetic variation and the survival of the fittest, whereas Lamarck focused on purposeful adaptations. This fundamental difference laid the groundwork for modern evolutionary biology.
