Was besagt die Abstammungstheorie?Die Abstammungstheorie, auch Deszendenztheorie genannt, ist die naturwissenschaftliche Theorie, die besagt, dass alle Arten der Lebewesen (d. h. der zellulär aufgebauten Organismen) auf eine oder wenige Urformen als gemeinsamen Vorgänger zurückgehen, mit dem jedes Lebewesen in gerader Abstammungslinie verbunden ist.
Warum verändern sich Arten?Neue Arten entstehen gewissermaßen durch zufällige, genetische Veränderungen. Bringt sie im herrschenden Ökosystem Vorteile kann sie sich als erfolgreiche, neu erworbene Eigenschaft durchsetzen. Die Isolation vom Rest der Population sorgt schließlich dafür, dass sich eine ganz neue Art entwickelt.
Wer vertrat die Katastrophentheorie?(Lamarckismus). Einen Gegenpol zur Lamarck'schen Abstammungstheorie bildete die Katastrophentheorie des Zoologen G. Baron de Cuvier. Er vertrat weiterhin die Konstanz der durch Schöpfung entstandenen Arten und hielt Fossilien für die Opfer von Katastrophen, die einige Tausend Jahre zurücklägen.
