- Mechanisms Behind Evolution
- Inheritance of Acquired Traits
- Why it was wrong/major flaw:
- Use & disuse and inheritance of acquired traits
- Giraffes developed longer necks over time to reach taller trees
- No knowledge of inheritance
- Mendel and Genetics came later
- Interaction of environment and heritable traits leads to adaptations & speciation
- Inherited traits influence survival and reproductive success
- All species capable of excess reproduction
- Heritable variation within populations
- Unequal survival and reproductive success leads to accumulation of favorable traits over generations
- Through observations during:
- Had the idea in a malaria induced state after being stung by a mosquito in Indonesia
- Submitted the idea prior to:
- Not all offspring survive
- Does not progress to "better" forms
- Environmental conditions are constantly changing
