Document Summary

2013: by the 1800s, people are questioning the scala naturae. Leclerc: bio geologic essence: erasmus darwin : life has been changing over time. Cuvier: comparative biology between bones and fossils. Where you can take its six carbon structure to ues to form proteins, amino acids, dna and still trap the energy. 10: co2 h2o h2co3 h+ h2co3 + ca caco3, carbon dioxide + water . Known as a giant booboo in biology (false) Inheritance of acquired traits and soon transmutate into a new species. A living world that has been going through these transmutational steps. It will later move towards the better organism. He is saying that not everything did not come at once, gradual change, traits have been moving on to their offspring. He has no idea of meiosis, about egg and sperm. No matter what happens to the phenotype, the germ cells are dormant and will not pass on their gene until maturity occurs.
