* When Turlough asks the Doctor what the Pathmaker was, disbelieving something like that could have grown up by chance, the Doctor rebuffs him by asking why not, since one can believe in [[giraffe]] necks or the social structure of an [[ant]]'s nest and that it's a big universe, so many things are possible, evolutionary speaking. The giraffe's neck refers to the original [[Jean-Baptiste Lamarck]]'s [[theory of Acquired Inheritance]], a theory used before and later influenced the formulation of [[Charles Darwin|Charles Darwin's]] "[[Theory of Evolution]]". The inheritance of longer giraffe necks passed down to off-spring is the popular example used to illustrate this falsified and abandoned theory. Its importance was that it spurred interest in the development of a theory to explain how organisms on planet earth first arose and why they have the traits/characteristics they do today. | |||
