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 and populational level in Lamarck’s and Darwin’s evolutionary models, as well as the role environmental pressures play
Explain the theory of evolution by Darwin? How it became part of the intellectual revolution?
Which the following statements about Darwin's theory of natural selection is true? O In order to reproduce more successfully, an individual must evolve so that it adapts to its environment. The natural environment consistently causes variation of certain traits in the population. O Individuals with inherited traits that are better suited to the local environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than less well-suited individuals. Natural selection, by its cumulative effects over long periods of time, could have caused random changes in ancestral species, thus giving rise to two or more descendant species.
