Darwin would not have known anything about genetics, which is why his theory was discredited initially, there was no mechanism for random mutation currently understood. On the other hand, the scientific evidence of the time supported Lamarck's theories, which with new understanding have been more or less discredited (ignoring neo-lamarckism and similar theories) which did not require any undiscovered mechanisms.
