Natural Selection Theory: Darwin's Theory Of Evolution

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck

Darwin was not the only scientist to have developed a theory of evolution; French scientist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck developed an alternative theory at the beginning of the 19th century. He is known for making a large advance in the process of finding the “right” theory of evolution; Lamarck proposed a mechanism that says that there might be a gradual change of species taking place. He is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics, first presented in 1801 (Darwin 's first book dealing with natural selection was published in 1859). If an organism changes during life in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. Lamarck believed that changes happened because of

Creationists, on the other hand argue that the evolutionist claim something without taking god into consideration meaning that it can not be proven to be a true and is more of a theoretical statement rather than a fact. Creationists believe that the diversity of living organism was all created simultaneously. Another aspect that makes Creationism seem unreliable is that they neglected Natural Selection, which is vital to the evolution of human species as said by Evolutionists, they might not agree with that idea, but they have no prove no valid arguments that clearly shows that Natural selection is not a fact. Although, a theory is derived from constant observation of a certain pattern so there must have been a clear reason for the scientist to believe what they had

The fossils showed that they were very different to any organism living at that time. That showed the evolution of fossils. Darwin also look at the similarities is skeletons and bones. The correspondence of structures is typically very close among some organisms. The similarities are less between mammals and birds than they are among mammals, and they are less between mammals and fish. He also found confirmation by looking at the geographic distribution of plants and animals. The fact that certain types of animals and plants are so dispersed over completely different areas of land suggest that they adapt every offspring to their needs. As the years passed technology evolved as well making it easier for the scientists to collect new and more efficient data. Other scientist specifying in genetics and ecology were an easy sources for Darwin to collect
