Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, French naturalist, (20th century)
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, French naturalist, (20th century). Lamarck (1744-1829) formulated the doctrine of Transformism (also known as Lamarckism), a theory of evolution which stated that acquired characteristics could be inherited. His theory was rejected by geneticists from the 1930s onwards, except in the Soviet Union, where it continued to be accepted until the 1960s. Lamarck is also credited with being the first to use the term biology

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, a French naturalist who lived during the 18th and 19th centuries. Lamarck is renowned for formulating the doctrine of Transformism, also known as Lamarckism, which proposed that acquired characteristics could be inherited. Although his theory was rejected by geneticists from the 1930s onwards, it continued to be accepted in the Soviet Union until the 1960s. Lamarck's contributions to science extended beyond his evolutionary theories. He is credited with being the first to use the term biology, highlighting his pioneering role in this field of study. As a biologist and scientist, he made significant advancements in understanding natural history and genetics. In this portrait engraving, we see a distinguished man with an air of intellect and curiosity about him. His deep gaze reflects years of dedicated research and groundbreaking discoveries. Lamarck's work laid important foundations for future scientists like Charles Darwin, whose own theories on evolution would eventually supersede Lamarck's ideas. This image not only commemorates one of France's most influential naturalists but also serves as a reminder of how scientific knowledge evolves over time. It stands as a testament to Lamarck's lasting impact on our understanding of biology and evolution while acknowledging that scientific progress often involves challenging existing beliefs.
