I don't believe you need to know about him

 

[babydoll_]

No, I think you have to know about him IF you want to use him as an example of one of the scientists who contributed to the understanding of evolution.

From this d/p:

* analyse information from secondary sources on the historical development of theories of evolution and use available evidence to assess social and political influences on these developments

I agree with babydoll. you just have to know he was the guys who thought aquired charactereistics were passed on - long necks in giraffes and that he was wrong

uhm also on lemark...... apparantly i think he's not all that bad...... he refuted the creationism of the chirstianity... so yeah, sorta the pioneer of modern biology, altho his theory is kinda..... uhm u noe wut i mean ^^

 

[s2ophie]

yeah xiao is right. following Erasmus Darwin, Lamarck was the first guy to say creationism was not exactly right

 

[elizabethy]

lamarck was the one who said that characteristics r inherited...
