What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy Used For? It was originally intended for people with borderline personality disorder, but has since been adapted for other conditions where the patient exhibits self-destructive behavior, such as eating disorders and substance abuse.
Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) is one of the best-known early evolutionists. Unlike Darwin, Lamarck believed that living things evolved in a continuously upward direction, from dead matter, through simple to more complex forms, toward human perfection.. Species didn't die out in extinctions, Lamarck claimed. Instead, they changed into other species.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Lamarck proposed that by selective use and disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. These traits could then be passed on to their offspring.Over time, this led to a change in species. If I'm not mistaken the Law of Use and Disuse was disproved by August Weisman (scientist) several years after the death of Darwin (late 1800's).
