How does anatomy help us understand evolution?
Slight anatomical changes over significant amounts of time resulting in new species and adaptations is precisely what evolution is. Having a knowledge of certain anatomies allows for comparison. Take orangutan anatomy for example. It is extremely similar to human anatomy, but there are certain differences that tell us that humans are not descendants from orangutans. Also, the fossil record on which evolution evidence is so well based, relies largely on classifying anatomical characteristics.

How did Lamarck think species evolve?
Lamarck's theory is that an organism can pass traits to their offspring that they have acquired in their lifetime. One example commonly used is that he felt giraffes acquired long necks because of generations of them stretching and trying to reach higher leaves on the tree. He thought that these stretched muscles would be passed down to their offspring. This has been proven wrong because this is not how evolution takes place. If you would cut off the tails of two mice and then breed them their offspring would not have short tails.
