| − | '''Lamarckian theory of evolution''' was proposed by [[French]] [[biology|biologist]] [[Jean Baptiste Lamarck]]. It proposed that [[organism]]s' efforts to [[adapt]] to the [[environment]] can be accumulated and passed on to their offspring. In his book [[The Origin of Species]], [[Charles Darwin|Darwin]] spoke favorably of the Lamarckian theory of evolution. However since the publication of Darwin's theory of natural selection and because of the lack of evidence for Lamarckian evolution in macro-biology, most biologists today favor Darwinian theory of evolution as the explanation for how human was evolved. | + | '''Lamarckian theory of evolution''' was proposed by [[French]] [[biology|biologist]] [[Jean-Baptiste Lamarck]].
