   Yes of course. It's incorrect to say that Lamarck is not, or was not   
   taught in British schools. However his work was used as a horrible   
   example of what happens when politics is allowed to interfere in   
   science.   
      
   Soviet Russia was keen on Lamarckianism. I don't think it was ever   
   taught in America other than in the same way it was taught in Britain,   
   with warnings that it was drivel.
