Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a pioneering French biologist who contributed to early evolutionary theory through his ideas on inheritance and adaptation. He proposed that organisms could acquire traits during their lifetime and pass these traits on to their offspring, a concept known as Lamarckism. Although his ideas were later overshadowed by Darwin's theory of natural selection, Lamarck's emphasis on the role of the environment in shaping species laid important groundwork for the study of evolution. His work highlighted the dynamic nature of life and the potential for change over time.
