Lamarck believed an individual organism acquired traits during its lifetime and passed those traits on to its offspring. He lacked support for his ideas. Darwin documented how inherited traits could be passed on by natural selection, that adaptations that give an organism an advantage is passed on through subsequent generations and becomes more common. He had evidence for his ideas (finches, tortoises…).
