Not well supported by the evidence and basically just assertion. Lamarck asserted that acquired characteristics, such as muscles developed during one's lifetime, were heritable. They are not. He also asserted that an organism had a " desire " to evolve. This was also not true.

What evidence disproves lamarcks theory of evolution?
Lamarck's theory of evolution posited that organisms could pass on traits acquired during their lifetimes to their offspring, such as a giraffe stretching its neck to reach higher leaves. However, evidence from genetics and the understanding of heredity demonstrates that traits are inherited through genes, not acquired characteristics. For instance, when a giraffe stretches its neck, the changes do not affect its DNA, so the offspring do not inherit a longer neck. Experiments in modern biology, such as those involving selective breeding and genetic mutations, further support the principles of Darwinian evolution over Lamarckian ideas.
What was Lamarcks theory of how things changed over time?
Lamarck's theory, known as Lamarckism, proposed that organisms evolve through the inheritance of acquired characteristics. He suggested that traits developed during an organism's lifetime, such as a giraffe stretching its neck to reach higher leaves, could be passed on to its offspring. This idea emphasized the role of adaptation to the environment in driving evolutionary change. While Lamarck's theory was influential, it has since been largely discredited in favor of Darwinian evolution and natural selection.
Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's theory?
It was where he developed his theory. The Galapagos are considered the "Laboratory of Evolution." Evolution is easily observable here.
How does Alfred Russell Wallace's theory compare to Darwin's theory of evolution?

What theory does the fossil record support?
It is generally thought to support the Theory of Evolution.
How is lamarcks theory of evolution different from theory of evolution?

What is the difference between the theory of language and evolution?
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.
What are the differences between Darwin's and lamarcks theory of 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.
Is evolution a theory or hypothesis?
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.
Complete history of a theory of evolution?
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.
What is an example of the evolutionary theory of government?
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.
How was Darwin's theory of evolution different from lamarcks?
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.
What is the movement that held to the theory of evolution?
The scientific movement accepts the Theory of Evolution. The Theory is the basis for the science of biology.
What is the prevalent theory of evolution?
the most prevalent theory of evolution is called natural selection.
What is the ISBN of The Theory of Evolution?
The ISBN of The Theory of Evolution is 0-14-020433-4.
What was his theory of evolution?
The theory of evolution is that all living things come from other living things.
What is the most excepted theory of evolution?
The theory of evolution by natural selection. ( I assume you meant accepted )
