No, unless the mechanisms by which these traits are acquired are inherited, subject to variation, and found in patterns of nested hierarchies.

They are passed along to offspring.
The two concepts of the inheritance of acquired characteristics plus use and disuse of traits.
That organisms pass on traits acquired in their lifetimes. It was rejected in favour of Darwinian evolution, in which species and not individuals evolve, but Larmarckism is valid to a point where epigenetics is concerned.

Two pertinent ideas of Lamarck were the idea of acquired characteristics and the concept of use and disuse. Acquired characteristics posited that some experience that an organisms went through in life, such as muscle building due to hard work, would be heritable. Use and disuse posited that certain organs and traits could develop through use, such as the giraffe trying to eat the leaves on the heights of trees, or that organs or traits could be lost through disuse.

Lamark believed that behaviors learned by parents could become inheritable traits.

if I were to inherit traits based on Lamarcks explanation of evolution were correct we wouldn't be the people we are now. Lamarcks´ explanation was that acquired characteristics were genetically passed to the offspring so if that were so, the human brains would be much more developed, more knowledge, and bigger parts of the body. This question is also tricky since a human would turn out to be a giant by the time they got to the 100th offspring
