Darwinism
The theory of evolution through natural selection, proposed by Charles Darwin.
Theory of Natural Selection
Evolution occurs through natural selection, where organisms better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Natural Selection Over Generations
Favorable traits become more common in a population over generations because individuals with those traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Lamarckism
The theory that organisms can pass traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring.
Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics
Lamarck's theory that organisms acquire traits through their needs and the use or disuse of traits, and these acquired traits can be passed to offspring.
Use and Disuse
The Lamarckian idea that frequently used traits become stronger or more developed, while unused traits become weaker or reduced.
