Open publisher page 14 citations

Abstract

Both Lamarck and Darwin made great contributions to the theory of evolution. Darwin’s hypothesis is well known, but that is not so for the ideas of Lamarck. Ever since Darwin there existed and there still exists a strong antagonism between the followers of the two main theories, which often seem to them mutually exclusive.
