__Other Ideas about Evolution__
The accepted scientific explanation, or theory, about the evolution of life has developed and changed over time. (That is, the idea of evolution has itself evolved!) Here are two examples of explanations that were accepted in the past. These were considered the best explanations available at the time. Cuvier’s theory was used by many scientists in the first half of the 1800s. Lamarck’s theory was widely used in the second half of the 1800s. 1.
