When we talk about evolution, it's always "Darwin" this and "Darwin" that. Yes, Charles Darwin is awesome. His ideas are being supported more and more each day. But what about some of the other evolutionary revolutionaries, like Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who died 181 years ago last week? If his theories were widely dismissed or even ridiculed in the past, does that mean we should ignore them now?
