Don’t dismiss Lamarck Your January 31 special birthday edition on Darwin (SN: 1/31/09, p. 17) was excellent, but I believe that science has allowed Jean-Baptiste Lamarck’s contributions to be overshadowed by Darwin’s. The change that can occur to an organism’s genetic makeup during its own lifetime harks away from Darwin’s slow evolutionary process by chance mutations and argues toward Lamarck’s heritable changes within a lifetime. Robert Powell, Austin, Texas Take a vote of biologists today and Darwin will win hands down. But I predict that in 20 years that will ch... (p. 30)Published: May 9th, 2009; Vol.175 #10
