Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a biological Janus, at once a highly competent taxonomist in a traditional mold and a bold, almost visionary, philosopher of nature who aspired to contrive an all-embracing "physics of the earth" by sheer force of intellect. Lamarck is generally remembered only for his ideas about the inheritance of acquired characters, ideas he did not originate or take special credit for, ideas that were only one part of his broad theory of evolution. In this, the first modern book-length study of Lamarck, Richard Burkhardt examines the origin and development of Lamarck's theory of organic evolution, the major theory prior to Darwin.

"Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution" is a biographical work written by Alpheus Spring Packard, an American naturalist and evolutionary biologist. Published in 1901, the book aims to shed light on the life and scientific contributions of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, a French biologist who is often considered one of the pioneers of evolutionary theory. In the book, Packard delves into Lamarck's early life, education, and career as a naturalist in 18th and early 19th century France. He explores Lamarck's groundbreaking ideas about the transmutation of species, which laid the groundwork for later evolutionary theories, including Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection. One of the central themes of the book is Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarckism. Lamarck proposed that organisms can pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring, thereby driving evolutionary change. Packard examines the historical context in which Lamarck developed his ideas and the scientific controversies surrounding his work. Furthermore, Packard discusses Lamarck's contributions to other areas of biology, including his work on invertebrate zoology and taxonomy. He highlights Lamarck's meticulous observations and classification of organisms, which laid the foundation for modern biological classification systems. Throughout the book, Packard offers a balanced assessment of Lamarck's legacy, acknowledging his pioneering contributions to evolutionary theory while also addressing the criticisms and challenges his ideas faced from contemporaries and later scientists. "Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution" provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of Lamarck's life and work, placing him in the context of the broader scientific and intellectual currents of his time. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in the history of evolutionary thought and the development of modern biology.

The fascinating story of two men, 200 years apart, who risked ridicule and ruin for the ideas they believed in. In 18th-century France Jean Baptiste de Lamarck ignored scientific tradition and developed the first theory of evolution. But 50 years later Charles Darwin published his own work and Lamarck became a laughing stock. Contemporary academic Ted Steele was similarly mocked and nearly ruined for supporting Lamarck's idea that inherited characteristics could be passed on. Now cutting edge discoveries have vindicated him at last. Their story is a rollercoaster ride of intelligence, stubborn vision, despair and vindication.

A reappraisal of Lamarckism—its historical impact and contemporary significance. In 1809—the year of Charles Darwin's birth—Jean-Baptiste Lamarck published Philosophie zoologique, the first comprehensive and systematic theory of biological evolution. The Lamarckian approach emphasizes the generation of developmental variations; Darwinism stresses selection. Lamarck's ideas were eventually eclipsed by Darwinian concepts, especially after the emergence of the Modern Synthesis in the twentieth century. The different approaches—which can be seen as complementary rather than mutually exclusive—have important implications for the kinds of questions biologists ask and for the type of research they conduct. Lamarckism has been evolving—or, in Lamarckian terminology, transforming—since Philosophie zoologique's description of biological processes mediated by "subtle fluids." Essays in this book focus on new developments in biology that make Lamarck's ideas relevant not only to modern empirical and theoretical research but also to problems in the philosophy of biology. Contributors discuss the historical transformations of Lamarckism from the 1820s to the 1940s, and the different understandings of Lamarck and Lamarckism; the Modern Synthesis and its emphasis on Mendelian genetics; theoretical and experimental research on such "Lamarckian" topics as plasticity, soft (epigenetic) inheritance, and individuality; and the importance of a developmental approach to evolution in the philosophy of biology. The book shows the advantages of a "Lamarckian" perspective on evolution. Indeed, the development-oriented approach it presents is becoming central to current evolutionary studies—as can be seen in the burgeoning field of Evo-Devo. Transformations of Lamarckism makes a unique contribution to this research.

This collection of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's lectures provides a wealth of information about the man and his theories. Arguing that Lamarck's ideas about evolution, initially discredited, are increasingly shown to have been prescient and important, this study contends that though many of Lamarck's insights may have been flawed, his basic contention that environment and evolution are inexorably linked is invaluable, particularly in the era of the genome project. At a time when Lamarckian notions of a vital universe are replacing mechanistic views, this work provides an excellent summation of his ideas and of their increased importance.

Excerpt from Lamarck, the Founder of Evolution: His Life and Work Although it is now a century since Lamarck published the germs of his theory, it is perhaps only within the past fifty years that the scientific world and the general public have become familiar with the name of Lamarck and of Lamarckism. The rise and rehabilitation of the Lamarckian theory of organic evolution, so that it has become a rival of Darwinism; the prevalence of these views in the United States, Germany, England, and especially in France, where its author is justly regarded as the real founder of organic evolution, has invested his name with a new interest, and led to a desire to learn some of the details of his life and work, and of his theory as he unfolded it in 1800 and subsequent years, and finally expounded it in 1809. The time seems ripe, therefore, for a more extended sketch of Lamarck and his theory, as well as of his work as a philosophical biologist, than has yet appeared. But the seeker after the details of his life is baffled by the general ignorance about the man - his antecedents, his parentage, the date of his birth, his early training and education, his work as a professor in the Jardin des Plantes, the house he lived in, the place of his burial, and his relations to his scientific contemporaries.
