Question

Who was the first person to come up with evolution?

Answer 1

Evolution:

1. The first theory of evolution was given by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829).
2. He first proposed the theory of the transmutation of species.

Theory of transmutation of species:

1. According to Lamarck, all living organisms did not share a common ancestor.
2. Rather, he believed in the creation of simple life forms by spontaneous generation.
3. He believed in a life force which he described as a nervous fluid to be the reason the organisms move towards complexity over time.
4. The same nervous fluid changes the organ of the species according to its use or disuse.
