Abstract
The most popular theoretical propositions are often those which spell the final doom to a notion that has already fallen into disrepute. This is as true today as it was when August Weismann (1892) published his seminal volume, Der Keimplasma, which far more than Cuvier's vituperative attacks, put the ideas of Lamarck to final rest.Keywords
