About this book

Language: German

Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck is known as the "founder of the doctrine of evolution" (1809). His concept of transformation was the basis of a multifaceted Lamarckism, which – as an alternative to ultra-selectionist neo-Darwinism – was particularly successful in the German-speaking world. The Lamarckian principle reads: In evolutionary processes, the environment primarily has an instructional function, not a selection function. Tribal change of form begins with targeted changes in development ("arrival of the fittest"), which can be reconstructed transgenerationally independently of the milieu; such "inheritance of acquired characters" (VEE) links onto- and phylogeny. When, up to the mid-1930s, it was becoming increasingly possible to interpret empirical findings of allegedly environmentally dependent hereditary variability in Mendelian and population genetics, neo-Darwinists declared any VEE to be non-existent – possibly wrongly: Better understanding of long-known and knowledge of new epigenetic developmental and Inheritance systems at different levels of biological organization today make Lamarckian, i.e. development-oriented, evolutionary thinking appear in a new light.

Summary in German:
Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck gilt als "fondateur de la doctrine de l'évolution" (1809). Sein Transformationskonzept war Basis eines vielgestaltigen Lamarckismus, der – als Gegenentwurf zum ultra-selektionistischen Neo-Darwinismus – v.a. im deutschen Sprachraum reüssierte. Das lamarckistische Prinzip lautet: Die Umwelt hat im Evolutionsgeschehen primär Instruktions-, nicht Selektionsfunktion. Stammesgeschichtlicher Formenwandel beginnt mit gerichteten Entwicklungsänderungen ("arrival of the fittest"), die milieuunabhängig transgenerational rekonstruierbar sind; eine derartige "Vererbung erworbener Eigenschaften" (VEE) verknüpft Onto- und Phylogenese. Als es bis Mitte der 1930er Jahre immer besser gelang, empirische Befunde angeblich umweltabhängiger erblicher Variabilität mendel- und populationsgenetisch zu deuten, erklärten Neo-Darwinisten jegliche VEE für inexistent – womöglich zu Unrecht: Besseres Verstehen schon längst bekannter und die Kenntnis neuer epigenetischer Entwicklungs- und Vererbungssysteme auf verschiedenen Ebenen biologischer Organisation lassen heute lamarckistisches, d.h. entwicklungsorientiertes Evolutionsdenken in neuem Licht erscheinen.
