Lamarck proposed for inheritance of acquired traits.

Example, giraffes stretched their neck to feed on shoots on tall trees. This lead to elongation of the necks, and they pass this traits to their offspring. This goes on and on, and eventually giraffes end up with long necks.

How did Darwin propose that species change over time?

Charles Darwin proposed that species change over time through the process of natural selection. He suggested that individuals within a species exhibit variations, and those with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Over generations, these advantageous traits become more common in the population, leading to gradual evolutionary change. This mechanism explains the adaptation of species to their environments and the emergence of new species over time.
