Jean Baptiste Lamarck did not receive the respect, prestige or recognition for his contributions to science during his life long struggle with poverty, yet was still a brilliant mind in pursuit of the discovery of Evolution.
In the year 1809, the year that Darwin was born, Lamarck published his three-volume work, Phylosophie Zoologique, in which was explained his theory of the evolution of life on this planet from the simplest, single-celled infusoria, to Man. He discussed not only gradual physical evolution, over countless millennia, but the evolution of our minds and our emotions too.
Too far ahead of his time, Lamarck’s ideas were ridiculed or forgotten.
Now we understand – or think we do! Time to take another look – we still have a lot to learn.
