What is Lamarckism, and what theory replaced it over the past few centuries? What two
examples/mechanisms were given that demonstrate potential modern support for Lamarckism?
Lamarickism view was given by JB Lamarck who suggested that whatever the character aquired by organism in its life span are transferred to next generation and hence it's called theory or aquired charactor also he suggested that no. of species remains the same and one species after milion of years changes completely into another species.
This theory was later rejected by Charles Darwin theory of Natural selection who suggested that only those characters go to next generation which causes changes in germline not in somatic cells also species no. Keep on increasing and one species formed by Adaptation from existing species and ancestor species never lost so species diversity increases with time.
Among four main postulates or theory which lamarck sugested, all were disproved except one that was use and disuse organ are well accepted .
Example which he given to support his theory were:
A)Giraffe- ancester of giraffe were having small neck and fore limb and when surface vegatation become limited they start streching there neck to take leaves from higheted plant which we see today is organism with long streched neck and long fore limb.
B) aquatic birds like duck evolved from terestial ancester but thy moved to water due to less completion and more food and slowly they developed webs in between thier toes and wing become less developed.these character help these bird to swim in water and cannot fly.
Hope it's clear..thanks

Data collected over the past few years revealed the following information: At a professional hockey teams September training camp, the probability that a player will pass all the fitness tests given he has been training all summer is 0.90. The probability that a player will not pass all the fitness tests given that he has not trained all summer is 0.45. It has been determined that four out of every five, or 80%, of players in a professional hockey teams...
Until recently, there were two competing theories about the
origin of our species- "modern Homo sapiens". The first (single
African origin) is that all modern humans descended from a recent
ancestor in Africa, less than 200,000 years ago, and that our
ancestors replaced the archaic human species they found in their
migrations, including Neanderthals and Denisovans. (In the last few
years evidence from nuclear genomes of fossil humans has indicated
that there was limited interbreeding between the ancestors of
modern...
