My High School biology textbook made sarcastic, disparaging comments about Lamarck and how in this new era of enlightenment when we have everything worked out, how could anyone have believed his theories? The question that occurred to me was people in Lamarck's day were just as sure, so how do we know we've got it all right today? I was a troublemaker back then, too.
Just another reason I relish your Catastrophism and GGG posts. I admit to feeling a fair degree of schadenfreude as we discover we didn't know everything we thought we did back then. :-))
