Theories on Origin and Change
... In the early 1800’s Jean-Baptiste Lamarck presented this theory. He thought that organisms were able to develop new structures because they needed the structures. He also believed that the size of an organ is determined by how much the organ is used. According to this theory, ballet dancers have big ...
