Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a French naturalist known for his early theories of evolution, which emphasized the idea that organisms adapt to their environments through the inheritance of acquired characteristics. He believed that changes in an organism's environment lead to changes in its behavior, which in turn would result in physical modifications that could be passed down to future generations. Lamarck's work aimed to explain the diversity of life and the mechanisms behind evolutionary change long before Darwin's theory of natural selection gained prominence. His ideas laid an important foundation for the study of evolution, despite being later overshadowed by more scientifically robust theories.
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.

Darwin's. Duh. Lamarck believed in evolution by acquired traits; i.e., if a blacksmith hammers all day, his arm becomes strong. By Lamarck's theory, the blacksmith's strength would be transferred to his offspring, but this is never observed.
?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.
No. In fact he faked his data.

Lamarck hypothesized that organisms evolved through the inhertitance of acquired charactaristics.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was born on August 1, 1744.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was born on August 1, 1744.
Darwin did not actually meet Lamarck in person. Lamarck's ideas on evolution were published before Darwin's time, and Darwin was familiar with them through his readings. Darwin's theory of natural selection differed from Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.
Lamarck hypothesized that organisms evolved through the inhertitance of acquired charactaristics.
Lamarck's hypotheses were published in Zoological Philosophical Work written in 1809.
France.
Do Lamarck's theories provide a good explanation for the change in months? Why or why not?
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck died on December 18, 1829 at the age of 85.
Lamarck's ideas were that he had a great contribution to the study of evolution.
