The Evolutions of Organization: Address to the Medical Students at the Opening of the Winter October University of Glasgow, Tues, October 26, 1880 (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from The Evolutions of Organization: Address to the Medical Students at the Opening of the Winter October University of Glasgow, Tues, October 26, 1880

Lamarck, who next claims attention, has given the summary of his doctrine in language so brief and clear, that I may quote his own words. He lays down four principles 1. Life, by its own forces, tends continually to increase the volume of the whole body which possesses it, and to extend the dimensions of its parts up to a limit which it determines. 2. The production of a new organ in an animal body results from a new want supervening, which con tinues to make itself felt, and from a new move ment which this want gives birth to, and continues. 3. The development of the organs and their force of action are constantly in ratio of the employment of these organs. 4. All that has been acquired, laid down or changed, in the organization of the individuals during the course of their life, is con served by their generation and transmitted to the new individuals proceeding from those which have undergone those changes.
