,3) Darwin’s theory of evolution failed to correctly identify a mechanism for inheritance. This
was later 'fixed' by a German biologist named August Weismann who provided data
demonstrating that modifications of an organism are not passed on to the offspring of the
organism.

answers the question.
6) Which statements given below correctly describe the origins of Darwinian evolutionary
theory?
6) ______
A) Charles Lyell was a geologist that contributed the idea of uniformitarianism which
has two major assumptions. First, the laws of chemistry and physics are constant and
second that geological processes occur by natural events.
B) Jean Baptiste de Lamarck is credited with proposing the first complete hypothesis for
evolution. His hypothesis is still favored today.
C) Charles Darwin was NOT the first person to propose that living things have been
shaped by evolutionary change.
D) Charles Lyell was a geologist that contributed the idea of uniformitarianism which
has two major assumptions. First, the laws of chemistry and physics are constant and
second that geological processes occur by natural events.
E) Darwin's primarily Arctic voyage is credited with providing him the specimens and
data to assemble his theory of evolution.
F) Charles Darwin was NOT the first person to propose that living things have been
shaped by evolutionary change.
G) Darwin's primarily Arctic voyage is credited with providing him the specimens and
