    I remember this fj category in March 2017 and two got it right. I was hoping for a triple solve today. And once again congrats to Karen on her sixth win. Lemarck wasn’t a bad guess. About spencer VJ, could it be Herbert spencer that brit was referring to? Because I don’t think I have heard of him while studying biology during college.

      LIFE SCIENCE ($400) Not Darwin, but Herbert Spencer coined this 4-word phrase that sums up natural selection

      They don’t expect you to know Spencer’s name — just the phrase.
