Transmutation
from Planet Peterson
In today's episode, I discuss transmutation, which is a now debunked scientific theory about how life evolves. Transmutation held to the idea that life does change, but the explanations for how and why were not based in reality. The most famous proponent of transmutation was Jean-Baptism Lamarck. Lamarck was the most famous "evolutionist" before Darwin. While Lamarckism is false, new discoveries about epigenetics are now causing a resurgence of Lamarckian ideas. Sort of.
