Answer 2

The idea of early Greeks thinkers about origin of life was that Evolutionary thought, the conception that species change over time, has roots in antiquity – in the ideas of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese as well as in medieval Islamic science. With the beginnings of modern biological taxonomy in the late 17th century, two opposed ideas influenced Western biological thinking: essentialism, the belief that every species has essential characteristics that are unalterable, a concept which had developed from medieval Aristotelian metaphysics, and that fit well with natural theology; and the development of the new anti-Aristotelian approach to modern science: as the Enlightenment progressed, evolutionary cosmology and the mechanical philosophy spread from the physical sciencesto natural history. Naturalists began to focus on the variability of species; the emergence of paleontology with the concept of extinctionfurther undermined static views of nature. In the early 19th century Jean-Baptiste Lamarck(1744 – 1829) proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution.
