Is Lamarck's theory of evolution still accepted in the scientific community, or has it been replaced by Darwin's theory?

 Lamarck's theory of evolution, often referred to as Lamarckism, posits that traits acquired during an organism's lifetime can be passed on to its offspring. This idea has largely been superseded by Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection, which emphasizes the role of genetic variation and differential reproductive success in shaping populations over time.

In the scientific community, Lamarckism is generally not accepted as the primary mechanism driving evolution. Darwin's theory, with subsequent refinements and additions from modern genetics, molecular biology, and other fields, provides a more comprehensive framework for understanding the diversity of life on Earth.
