- Locate two instances of Darwinian evolution being misrepresented by a Lamarckian approach in the media (print, electronic, etc.). Give the following information for both.Its beginnings?arrow_forward. Some scientists vigorously rejected Darwin’sideas when On the Origin of Species was published. Richard Owen (1860), perhaps the mostrespected biologist in England, wrote (amongmany other objections): “Are all the recognisedorganic forms of the present date, so differentiated, so complex, so superior to conceivableprimordial simplicity of form and structure,as to testify to the effects of Natural Selectioncontinuously operating through untold time?Unquestionably not. The most numerous livingbeings … are precisely those which offer suchsimplicity of form and structure, as best agrees…with that ideal prototype from which…vegetableand animal life might have diverged.” Howmight Darwin, or you, argue against Owen’slogic?arrow_forwardLamarck proposed that evolution occurs through the following basic steps: Organisms are born with certain traits. Over the course of an organism's life, these traits gradually change due to pressures in the environment. The changes that occurred during an organism's life are passed on to its young. This idea is similar to current understandings of how evolution works, but it is not quite correct. Which of the following situations is a counterexample that disproves Lamarck's proposed pattern of how evolution occurs? A. Even though the ability to fly would be useful to snakes, snakes cannot spontaneously grow wings. B. Dolphins and whales have become hairless because the fast movement of the water removes all the hair. C. A person who is a championship bodybuilder does not have children who are naturally muscular at birth.arrow_forward
- Describe the theory of evolution in as objective terms as you can. How does it work? Give supportiveevidence for the theory. -philosophy of sciencearrow_forwardHelparrow_forwardEvolution is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. What are some common misconceptions about evolution? How are these misconceptions wrong?arrow_forward
- Comparedto a hypothesis, a scientific theory is usually more general and substantiated by amuch greater amount of evidence. Natural selection is an explanatory idea thatapplies to all kinds of organisms and is supported by vast amounts of evidence ofvarious kinds.arrow_forwardoutline and describe the impact of Charles Lyell's work on the development of Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Include the major work done by Lyell and what it led Darwin to consider.arrow_forwardhow do scientists support the theory of evolution? use the terms evolution, natural selection, vestigial structures, homologous structures, DNA, adaptations and fossilarrow_forward
- "All scientific theories are supported by large bodies of evidence" is a post-Darwinian concept. True Falsearrow_forwardExplain the three (3) of Darwins postulate on evolutionarrow_forwardFind two cases in the media (internet, TV, etc.) of a person (organization, etc.) attempting to describe and example of the process of Darwinian evolution but is incorrectly describing the evolution process using a Lamarckian approach to evolution. Give the following information for both cases: Source (Where you found it) In what ways are they mistakenly claiming that the evolutionary process is an example of Darwinian evolution? How do you know that they are really describing evolution through a Lamarckian process, not a Darwinian process?arrow_forward
