Evolution
is the process by which modern organism have
descended
from ancient organism. This process has led to
incredible diversity
of life.
Jean Baptise Lamarck's Hypotheses -> Use and disuse or Inheritance of
Acquired Traits
A scientist that worked on understanding how an organism have
changed
over time and show
relatedness
Lamarck
thought that if an organism used or didn't use organs or body parts, organisms could
gain
or
lose
those
traits
during their
lifetime.
If an animal acquired a
particular trait
in its
lifetime
, that trait would be
passed
on
to its offspring and would lead to
change
in a
species.
He didn't know that traits were
inherited
by
genes
from parents - his ideas were flawed
