@david_chisnall @futurebird I agree with this with the caveat that we have to be very intentional in how we teach it because students are weird sponges and sometimes only remember the hypothesis that was found to be wrong, without remembering the wrong part.
And this is why I don't talk about Lamarckism during intro biology anymore. Way too many of them grasped onto inheritance of acquired characteristics because we talked about it first and never learned how evolution actually works.
