I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was later realized that caused naturalistic mechanisms such as neo-Lamarckism to be embraced?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Eventually it was realised that supernatural intervention could not be a scientific explanation, and naturalistic mechanisms such as neo-Lamarckism were favoured over natural selection as being more compatible with purpose.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
