Question

5 reasons on why you prefer darwin's theory over lamarck?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Key points: Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who proposed the theory of biological evolution by natural selection. Darwin defined evolution as "descent with modification," the idea that species change over time, give rise to new species, and share a common ancestor.

&

Charles Darwin is centrally important in the development of scientific and humanist ideas because he first made people aware of their place in the evolutionary process when the most powerful and intelligent form of life discovered how humanity had evolved.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Lamarck hypothesized that acquired characteristics of individuals caused a change in species if the acquired characteristics repeat generation after generation.

With Lamarck’s line of thinking most babies would not have to learn their mother tongue because their ancestors speak the language for many generations.

Basically because it said that changes happened as adults experienced new events, and worked to deal with them,

But in fact, that never happened. An animal doing different things as it lived was still the same animal.

n a nutshell, it was falsified when tested. It was falsifiable if false, but was falsified, so, it was rejected…. because it did not work.

Evolution was an observed fact, used by farmers for example, for thousands of years.

They applied selection pressures to crops and livestock, to get traits the farmers desired.

Mankind understood how this worked with a farmer applying the selection pressures, but, not how it worked, in nature, with no farmer.

Natural selection, which came a little later, was the result of realizing that all that happened, in nature, was that instead of the farmer choosing which individuals got to reproduce, nature did.

So, if the parents survived to reproduce, then, the offspring inherited whatever worked for their parents.

As even siblings are a little different, taller or shorter, darker or lighter, faster or slower, etc… one might have more kids than the other… and, over generations, the population has more and more members like the ones that have offspring.

It seems so simple to us now… but then, it was truly groundbreaking.

When tested, it worked great, and, it allowed predictions based upon it, etc.

So, Lamarck missed the mark, and, Darwin, and Wallace actually, hit the mark.
