Compare and contrast Lamarck’s scientifically invalid model of evolution (Lamarckian Inheritance) with Darwin’s scientifically valid model of evolution by Natural Selection. Though incorrect, why was Lamarck’s theory of mutability so revolutionary compared to other scientific thinkers of the time and preceding him? Why was Darwin’s (and technically Alfred Wallace’s) theories of mutability so revolutionary compared to Lamarck’s? What aspects of natural selection did Lamarck get right? What aspects did Lamarck get totally wrong? Remember to consider and give examples of mechanisms of inheritance on both the individual
