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’sg. Charles Darwin 1859

inheritance of acquired characteristics“Origin of the Species” natural selection adapt and reproduce or go extinct
