Darwins and Lamarck's Evolution

Darwin Theory of Evolution

1 Variation exists within the genes of every population or species (as a result of random mutation).
2 In a particular environment, some individuals of a population are better suited to survive and to have more offspring.
3 Over generations, the traits that certain individuals of a population able to survive and reproduce tend to increase in that population.
4 Evidence from fossils and many other sources indicates that living species evolved from species that no longer exist.

Lamarck Ideas of Evolution

1 Environment gives rise to changes in animals. EX. Blindness in moles
2 Life was structured in an orderly manner and that many different parts of all bodies make it possible for the organic movements of animals.
