What two important ideas did Lamarck contribute to science?

• evolution happens in small, gradual steps

• simple organisms can develop (through several generations) into more complex organisms

• species change over many generations to become better adapted to new conditions

• organisms that move to a different location will slowly adapt/evolve to better survive that new location

The theory of evolution states that

• species change over time, sometimes developing into new species

• species that are extinct have no biological relationship to living species

• the environment of Earth is constant over time

• different animal species always interbreed to form new and different species
