Lamarck Posited the concept of acquired characteristics being heritable and the organisms " need " to adapt physiological parts, such as giraffes " needing " longer necks. Needless to say both of these main concepts of Lamarck's were wrong.
Darwin posited the theory of evolution by natural selection that saw selected variations of organisms evolving over time by their progeny inheriting favorable characteristics. Darwin had the evidence that Lamarck did not and his theory, with modifications, is still the best explanation of evolution and the origin of species extant.
