He was the first to say organisms lived in an environment that suited them which would some day be called adaption |
| How did Linnaeus contribute to the Theory of Natural Selection? | he was a big supporter of the great chain of beings. he was the father of taxonomy as he came up with a meaningful way of organizing organisms using a two part naming system |
| How did Lamarck contribute to the theory of natural selection? | he was a naturalist who came up with the law of use and disuse which said that characteristics that went unused eventually evolved out and used characteristics became more developed. he was also the first to talk about inherited characteristics but his theory was flawed, saying that for example a giraffe stretched its neck so much in its lifetime that its neck would stretch and this characteristic would be passed onto children. genetics was not known then. |
