The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- With the beginnings of modern biological taxonomy in the late 17th century, two opposed ideas influenced Western biological thinking: essentialism, the belief that every species has essential characteristics that are unalterable, a concept which had developed from medieval Aristotelian metaphysics, and that fit well with natural theology, and the development of the new anti-Aristotelian approach…
- Naturalists began to focus on the variability of species, the emergence of palaeontology with the concept of extinction further undermined static views of nature.
- In the early 19th century prior to Darwinism, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed his theory of the transmutation of species, the first fully formed theory of evolution.
