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.

In what major way did Darwin's ideas diverge from Lamarck's?
Darwin's ideas diverged from Lamarck's primarily in their explanations of how species evolve. While Lamarck proposed that organisms could inherit traits acquired during their lifetimes (Lamarckism), Darwin introduced the concept of natural selection, where variation within a population leads to differential survival and reproduction. This mechanism emphasizes the role of genetic variation and environmental pressures rather than acquired characteristics. Thus, Darwin's theory provided a more scientifically grounded understanding of evolution based on observable processes.
What are lamarcks ideas?
Lamarck knew evolution was happening, his inaccuracies are in how he explained it. The first part of his theory is known as "use it or lose it" today. He said that use makes organs and structures bigger or more useful. Giraffes needed long necks, while blind cave fish lost their eyes. Darwin thought this idea was too simple, and replaced it with natural and sexual selection. The second major point Lamarck made was called acquired inherited traits. This means that traits that an organisms gets after it was born affects its offspring. This would mean that a bodybuilder would naturally get buff children, and that crabs that lost their claws would have clawless spawn. A famous experiment involving the mutilation of mice (which left their offspring unaffected) disproved this. Because of our knowledge of genetics, we say that variation is caused by mutations and not acquired traits.
The major claims made in The Origin of Species Which ones were new and surprising?
Some major claims in "The Origin of Species" include: the concept of natural selection as the mechanism for evolution, the idea of common ancestry among species, and realization that biological diversity arises from gradual change over time. These ideas were new and surprising at the time of publication, challenging prevailing beliefs about the fixity of species and the origins of biological diversity.

This is jweezy telling you that major parties will steal the minor parties ideas to get the success of the minor parties and their voters.
