Psycho-Lamarckism

one of the trends in neo-Lamarckism. According to psycho-Lamarckism, the source of the evolution of animals and plants lies in their conscious, volitional acts. Psycho-Lamarckism endows not only integral organisms but also each of their cells with consciousness and memory. It opposes Darwinism and rejects the materialist theory of evolution by natural selection.
