Would you have liked to hear Mendel's lectures on his pea plants? Why or why not?

imagine your are listening to lectures by Lamarck and Darwin. How would Lamarck likely explain the origin of a giraffe's long neck? How would Darwin explain this? What experimental evidence could help support or disprove either scientist's position?

Archaeologists have given at least five different explanations about why and how complex societies arose. Please briefly describe and name one of those explanations and provide a name of a culture or region from the lectures or your readings that fits the theory.
