BIOL 2200 Manson Exam 1- Lecture 2
Aristotle - ANS-earliest philosopher; species are FIXED; scale of nature: low complexity
to high complexity
James Hutton - ANS-geologist; gradualism-earth is old and shaped by small SLOW
changes
Thomas Malthus - ANS-economist; "Essay of the Principle of Population"; human
population growth is LIMITED BY RESOURCES
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck - ANS-naturalist; organisms change due to environment, traits

August Weismann - ANS-biologist who tested Larmarckian inheritance; acquired traits
are NOT inherited by offspring; chopped tail parents produce normal tail offspring;
"Essays on Heredity"
Georges Cuvier - ANS-paleontologist; fossils as 1ST EVIDENCE OF EXTINCTION;
new species are due to immigration after "sudden events" (wrong)
Charles Lyell - ANS-geologist; "Principles of Geology"; the processes that shape the
earth are gradual and HAVE BEEN UNIFORM OVER TIME
Charles Darwin - ANS-naturalist; voyage on the HMS Beagle; observations on the
voyage led him to think about how species arise
Darwin 1837 - ANS-draws 1st phylogenetic tree
Darwin 1844 - ANS-wrote his essay on descent with modification
Alfred Russell Wallace - ANS-naturalist; sent Darwin HIS hypothesis of natural selection
FIRST in 1858
