Two main concepts. The concept of acquired characteristics where a characteristic, such as developed muscles, could be passed on to progeny. Refuted. Also the concept that organisms have a innate " desire " to evolve in certain directions. Also refuted.

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.


Who lamark drawin?

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a French biologist known for his early theories on evolution, particularly his concept of inheritance of acquired characteristics. He proposed that organisms could pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring, a notion that was later largely discredited in favor of Darwinian evolution. Lamarck's ideas laid important groundwork for the field of biology, influencing the study of evolution and adaptation. While he is not primarily known for drawing, his contributions to science are significant.


Did Charles Darwin retract his ideas of evolution?

No. There is no real evidence about that


What did john baptiste lamark contribute to evolution?

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a pioneering French biologist who contributed to early evolutionary theory through his ideas on inheritance and adaptation. He proposed that organisms could acquire traits during their lifetime and pass these traits on to their offspring, a concept known as Lamarckism. Although his ideas were later overshadowed by Darwin's theory of natural selection, Lamarck's emphasis on the role of the environment in shaping species laid important groundwork for the study of evolution. His work highlighted the dynamic nature of life and the potential for change over time.


When did lamarck publish his own ideas on evolution?

Around 1793.
