I respectfully disagree. A good theory isn't about one person. The first person to come up with a theory of evolution- right in key respects, wrong in the particulars- is a father of the field. After years of studying this for a living (I am an evolutionary biologist, and I have tended to pay attention to the history), I hold a high opinion of Lamarck as being the progenitor of the field (as did Darwin). Disagree if you like.

But this is a silly argument. Are we in agreement that it's stretching it to link epigenetics to Lamarck?
