b. Aristotle 400BC a. Anaximander c. Carolus vonLinnaeus 1700’s d. Count Buffon 1700’s e. Baron Cuvier 1800’s organisms strive to become more complex creatures organized from simple to complex or “Scala naturae” in a fixed state designed a system of classification (binomial nomenclature) organisms were not fixed = change over time Force? Catastrophism (Name one!) to explain the variation in the extinct vs. extant species

f. Jean Lamarck 1800’s g. Charles Darwin 1859 inheritance of acquired characteristics “Origin of the Species” natural selection  adapt and reproduce or go extinct

Natural Selection
