Lamarck's Hypothesis of Evolution(Small note before answer: Lamarck had a hypothesis, not a theory) Lamarck, as well as other naturalists, hypothesized evolution via environmental change before Darwin. However, many failed to account for changes in the fossil record and interactions of the phenotypes of animals on their environment. Despite Lamarck's advances in the field, he is most remembered in history for the incorrect mechanisms of this evolution that he posited.Lamarck's hypothesis of evolution appeared in his Zoological Philosophical Work written in 1809, featuring two mechanisms of evolutionary change: use and disuse and inheritance of acquired characteristics.His evolutionary hypothesis was as follows:Environmental changes generate new needsThese needs determine the use or disuse of some organsSuch organs develop or are diminishedThe acquired characters are hereditary
It is true that certain anatomical structures change in size according to use, but these changes cannot be passed on to the organism's offspring.
?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.

Lamarck's incorrect hypothesis regarding inheritance.... Lamarck did not know how traits were inherited (Traits are passed through genes) Genes are not changed by activities in life. They change through mutation occurs before an organism is born.
Main points of Lamarck's theory are the following . 1 Changing environment produced need for new organs . 2 there is an increase in size of organs and organisms . 3 use and dis use of organisms . Inheritance of acquired characters .

It isn't. Lamarck was well off the mark; Darwin had the right idea and was later shown to be right (or at least better than Lamarck) by the discovery of DNA and its function.
Lamarck believed that there was a form of evolution, but contrary to Darwin after him, he believed that the characteristics an organism acquires during his life are inherited by its descendants. For more on Lamarck's hypothesis, see the related question below.

To do it right
because your hypothesis could be right or wrong
The scientist tested their hypothesis, and feudle to the answer the hypothesis was right
Do your hypothesis, wrote down your results, and see if your right
It means tell them how your hypothesis was right or not.
