What was Lamarcks theory?

Lamarck's Hypothesis of Evolution(Small note before answer: Lamarck had a hypothesis, not a theory) Lamarck, as well as other naturalists, hypothesized evolution via environmental change before Darwin. However, many failed to account for changes in the fossil record and interactions of the phenotypes of animals on their environment. Despite Lamarck's advances in the field, he is most remembered in history for the incorrect mechanisms of this evolution that he posited.Lamarck's hypothesis of evolution appeared in his Zoological Philosophical Work written in 1809, featuring two mechanisms of evolutionary change: use and disuse and inheritance of acquired characteristics.His evolutionary hypothesis was as follows:Environmental changes generate new needsThese needs determine the use or disuse of some organsSuch organs develop or are diminishedThe acquired characters are hereditary


What question did both Lamarck and Darwin try to answer with their theories of evolution?

What is the mechanism that causes evolution. Both knew evolution occurred and occurs but did not know how or why. Lamark's " desire to evolve " and " acquired characteristics " failed to explain evolution. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was the better explanation.

Why is evolution considered a theory and not a hypothesis or a law?

In science, a hypothesis and a theory differs in that a hypothesis is a conjecture based on empirical observation or theoretical derivation yet unproven or by any experimental work, and that a theory is a hypothesis that has been rigorously tested by many researchers and supported by strong evidence. Evolution is a theory that has been repeatedly tested, supported by overwhelming evidence, and can be used to explain natural phenomenon very well.


What doeshypothesis mean in sicence?

A hypothesis is an idea suggested in order to explain data (information). It's essentially the same as a theory. For example, evolution is a hypothesis that explains why different groups of plants and animals have different similarities. Once a hypothesis has been suggested, you go and collect more data that will either support the hypothesis or contradict it. In the case of evolution, DNA patterns and protein similarities support the hypothesis.

Is evolution a theory or hypothesis?

Why was the evolution of jaws an important event in vertebrate history?

The evolution of jaws is believed to be used originally for respiratory purposes. However, it is important to the history of vertebrates mainly because it allowed for more efficient eating.


What is a hypothesis that does not explain an observation?

When you are using the scientific method, you would try to imagine a hypothesis which explains an observation, but you might not succeed. A hypothesis that does not explain an observation would be considered a failed hypothesis. You would then need to invent a different hypothesis.


Did your data support your hypothesis?
