DEVELOPMENT OF EVOLUTIONARY THOUGHT 

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. 

1. Lamarck's idea of evolution was considered significant though today it is no longer acceptable due to lack of evidence at that time. What do you think it was? Why do you think this evidence is missing? 

2. One of the criticisms of Lamarck's idea was a wrestler with very well-developed muscles. Consider this hypothetical situation: YOU decided NOW that when you have children, you want them to be big and strong. You decided to go to the gym every day for a year. You did all your exercise routines diligently and you were able to develop really bulky and toned muscles. Do you think this will work? Write down in one sentence the main reason why this would or would not work. 

3. How did Darwin disproved Lamarck? Why did Darwin still thought that Lamarck's work was very important?
