Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believed that organisms change through a process of adaptation to their environments, which he described as "inheritance of acquired characteristics." He proposed that traits developed or enhanced during an organism's lifetime could be passed on to its offspring. For example, he suggested that giraffes developed longer necks because their ancestors stretched to reach higher leaves, and this trait was then inherited. Lamarck's ideas laid early groundwork for the study of evolution, although they were later superseded by Darwin's theory of natural selection.
