Lamarck-Core: When Plastic Surgery Meets Evolutionary Confusion

Lamarck-Core: When Plastic Surgery Meets Evolutionary Confusion

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck is rolling in his grave right now! The meme hilariously showcases someone who thinks cosmetic surgery will genetically influence their future offspring—a perfect example of Lamarck's discredited theory of "inheritance of acquired characteristics." Sorry to break it to you, but that rhinoplasty won't change your DNA! Your kids will inherit your original nose blueprint, not your surgeon's handiwork. Darwin settled this debate nearly 200 years ago, but apparently some Instagram wisdom missed the evolutionary biology lecture. Next up: getting a PhD so your kids will be born already knowing calculus!
