Abstract
Neo-Lamarckism and Neo-Darwinism
Highlights
It is important that I still repeat Lamarck’s belief in the transmission of a character obtained by any individual during its own lifetime, for this is the starting point of the definition of an “acquired character”
There are three things to be considered in this hypothesis: 1. Changes in environment or the conditions of life react upon organisms in the direction of their needs or functions
Like Lamarck, saw that all forms of life vary; and like him, too, he perceived that there must be a fierce struggle for place or existence amongst the individuals of the rapidly succeeding generations. This variation and struggle are apparent in cultivated plants; and Darwin saw that the gardener selects the best, and thereby “improves” the breed
Summary
It is important that I still repeat Lamarck’s belief in the transmission of a character obtained by any individual during its own lifetime, for this is the starting point of the definition of an “acquired character”.
