?Mendel, widely acknowledged as the first geneticist.the answer is either lamarck or darwinit's lamarck. he believed that characteristics developed by parents are passed on to their offspring.
The public, due mostly to religious reasons, was not ready for any transmutational theory and Lamarck's theory had no evidence to support it thus scientists of the time did not pay it much attention. Also Cuvier was Lamarck's enemy and denigrated the theory Lamarck developed.

Darwin's. Duh. Lamarck believed in evolution by acquired traits; i.e., if a blacksmith hammers all day, his arm becomes strong. By Lamarck's theory, the blacksmith's strength would be transferred to his offspring, but this is never observed.
Lamarck thought that evolution could be effected by changes in the body, rather that strictly by the survival (or rather the death) of offsprings.

Lamarck hypothesized that organisms evolved through the inhertitance of acquired charactaristics.
Darwin did not actually meet Lamarck in person. Lamarck's ideas on evolution were published before Darwin's time, and Darwin was familiar with them through his readings. Darwin's theory of natural selection differed from Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.
Lamarck's hypotheses were published in Zoological Philosophical Work written in 1809.
Lamarck hypothesized that organisms evolved through the inhertitance of acquired charactaristics.
Lamarck thought acquired traits were past on, but he was prover wrong by Darwin and his natural selection idea.
