    The document outlines the timeline of key figures in the development of the theory of evolution: - Comte de Buffon in 1774 believed that species changed over time by chance throughout history and that humans and apes were associated. - Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1809 proposed that animals developed acquired features which were passed to offspring. - George Cuvier in 1812 found that fossils showed animal and plant species were destroyed by natural disasters and new species evolved after. - Charles Lyell in 1830 argued that the Earth's crust formed through countless small changes over vast periods of time according to natural laws. - Alfred Wallace in 1855 independently discovered the theory of natural selection before Darwin

    THEORIES OF EVOLUTION: LAMARCK AND ACQUIRED CHARACTERISTICS One forskare intrigued bygd fossils was the French naturalist jean Baptiste dem Lamarck. IN 1809, Lamarck proposed that organisms evolved in response to their environment. To evolve means to change from one form to another. Lamarck was the first biologist to suggest that organisms undergo evolution. Lamarck’s theory explained two observed facts. The first was the fossil record, which showed that organisms in the past were different from those living today. Second, his theory explained why each orgnaism was so well adapted to its environment. As Lamarck had observed, each organism had adaptations that suit its particular way of life. Elephants have long trunks for samling food; lions have powerful claws and jaws for capturing prey; and antelope have long, swift legs for escaping predators. Lamarck believed that an organism acquired these traits during their lifetime and then passed these traits down to their offspring.
