You: What do you think about Darwin’s and Lamarck’s theory?

Lamarck believed that the long necks of giraffes evolved as generations of giraffes reached for ever higher leaves. He also proposed that organisms were driven from simple to increasingly more complex forms.

Darwin believed that the desires of animals have nothing to do with how they evolve and that changes in an organism during its life do not affect the evolution of the species. He said that organisms, even of the same species, are alldifferent and that thosewhich happentohave variations that help them to survive in their environments survive and have more offspring.

There are some myths and misconceptions about their theory, but they are very interesting and can help us to reflect on where we came from and where we are going.
