Is a process by which the physical characteristics of types
of creatures change over time.
 About Lamarck
01
Jean Baptiste de Lamarck
Who is Jean Baptiste de Lamarck?
 Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck,
often known simply as Lamarck, was a French naturalist,
biologist, academic, and soldier. He was an early proponent of
the idea that biological evolution occurred and proceeded in
accordance with natural laws.

 He was the first evolutionist to believe that

organisms change over time. Using fossil
records as a guide, Lamarck was able to
develop three (3) theories.
02 3
theories of Lamarck
The theory of Need,The theory of Use and Disuse, and The theory of
Aquired Characteristic
 The Theory of Need
● states that organisms change in response to their
environment. Their ability to survive helped them
developed characteristics necessary for them to adapt
to a given environment. An example is the capability of
birds to fly because their ancestors had the urge and
tried to fly.
 The theory of Use and Disuse
● according to Lamarck, organs not in use will disappear
while organs in use will develop. An organism can reshape
or alter its traits depending on the importance of that trait to
the organism. For example, Lamarck believed that before,
the giraffes have short necks, but because of the need to
survive and to reach tall trees for food, they kept stretching
their necks until these became longer and able to reach taller
trees.
 The theory of Aquired
Characteristic
● in this theory, the acquired traits of an organism that were
influenced by the environment can be passed on to its
offspring. These acquired characteristics were believed to be
inherited by their offspring and propagated by the next
generation. For example, If the giraffe was successful in
acquiring the trait of having a long neck, then the trait would
be passed on to its offspring.
Examples:
 Lamarck hypothesized
that giraffe had short
necks and as grasses died
their necks had to stretch
to eat tree leaves, passing
on that trait to offspring.

 Lamarck did not have

enough evidence and
was eventually proven
wrong.
Darwin’s
theory
03 Charles Robert
Darwin
The Father of Evolution
Who is Charles Robert Darwin?
 Charles Robert Darwin is known as the Father of Evolution.

 He proposed the Theory of Natural Selection.

-The theory of natural selection is the process where organisms
with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce. In doing so,
they pass on these traits to the next generation. Over time this
process allows organisms to adapt to their environment.
04 Darwin’s concept of
natural selection
His five (5) major ideas
Darwin’s natural selection theory
1. Organisms struggle to survive to avoid extinction
2. Organisms vary in their physical, functional, and behavioral
characteristics.
3. Organisms which can best adapt to their
environment would survive and produce better
offspring (Adaptation)
4. There is a higher probability of the
next generation of organisms to
survive if they acquired the adaptive
characteristics.
5. Environmental conditions can affect the survival
of organisms.
Key Points
 • Darwin also suggested that selection also takes place in
nature. In selective breeding, the farmer identifies and
selects the best and desirable trait to propagate. In natural selection, environmental
factors promote the survival of the fittest and eliminate the less fit. Darwin and
Lamarck's theories were the foundation of evolutionary thought. Although both
were not able to defend how traits were passed on from generation to generation
(genetics), their theories became a big step forward in the study of evolution.

• Today, scientists have studied and explained how genes were passed down from
parents to offspring. They were able to explain also the mechanism of evolution
that causes genetic variation among organisms

 “It is not the most intellectual of the species
that survives; it is not the strongest that
survives; but the species that survives is the
one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the
changing environment in which it finds itself.”

—Charles Darwin
The One Most Adaptable to Change is the One that Survives
