Lamarck wrote the three-volume Flora Française, and a few years later the Système des Animaux Sans Vertèbres. If just one of these two monumental undertakings is not enough to put this remarkable investigator into the top of the ranks of the naturalists, then no one belongs there.

How is lamarkism better than Darwinism?
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.
Which describes Lamarck's explanation for changes in the fossil record?
Lamarck's explanation of evolution is based on two principles: use and disuse and the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Lamarck's "use and disuse" principle explained his belief that the body parts that are commonly used become larger and stronger such as a giraffe's neck, while those that are not used deteriorate and become smaller. He also believed that an organism could pass these modifications to its offspring through the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Thus, Lamarck thought that evolution is driven by the innate drive of organisms to become more complex. Although he was later proven wrong, he was insightful in observing and recognizing that gradual evolutionary change does exist.
