You will complete a table that follows the theories of evolution through time. Your table will include the following scientists: • Linnaeus • Hutton • Lamarck • Malthus • Lyell • Darwin . Wallace The table will include the name of the scientist, approximate dates, explanations of the concepts they explored, and the general theory or topic they are credited with. Below is the table you will fill in, with an example of what one part of the table might look like. Use the example to guide you with how much detail is required and how in-depth your responses must be. Be sure to include the following key terms somewhere in vour table.
