THEORIES OF EVOLUTION THEORIES OF Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck - In 1809, the year EVOLUTION when Charles Darwin was born, Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck (1744-1829), a French naturalist, published a book entitled Zoological Philosophy wherein he presented his ideas on evolution. Lamarck was the first biologist who offer a concrete hypothesis to explain how plants and animals might have evolved.

Theory of Use and Disuse - organs not in use
will disappear while organs in use will develop. . Environmental Conservation Training | Feb. 2020 THEORIES OF EVOLUTION
Theory of Acquired Characteristics - parent animals could pass on its
offspring the characteristics it had acquired during its lifetime; thus, the offspring would inherit those characteristics that had become enlarge because of excessive use, or that which has grown smaller from disuse.

THEORIES OF Theory of Natural Selection four mains principles
EVOLUTION Variation - differences among members of a population that can be
passed on to the next generation. Variations are the basis for natural selection.
Overproduction - having many offspring increases the chance that
some of them will survive. These offspring will compete for resources (food, shelter, and water). Very few survive long enough to reproduce.
Adaptation - set of genetically acquired traits that make the
organism better suited to its environment. Individuals with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce than those individuals lacking the adaptations.
