Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Darwin
Concept:

The publication of evolutionary theories fundamentally shifted biological sciences in the 19th century.

Solution:

  • Charles Darwin wrote and published the groundbreaking book "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" in 1859.
  • This work introduced the concept that populations evolve over generations through a process of natural selection.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Lamarck: Published his theory of evolution based on the inheritance of acquired characteristics much earlier (1809).
  • Linnaeus: The father of modern taxonomy; he believed in the fixity of species.
  • Hardy-Weinberg: Developed a mathematical baseline for population genetics in the early 20th century.
