If you were to debate Lamarck today about his theory, the core concept in biology that you would rely on would be "Traits cannot be chosen on will , but are randomly inherited from our parents.

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-18299 was a French scientist that suggested the theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics to explain the evolution process. The theory was known to state that an organism could transform itself and transmit the acquired characteristics to other generations. Then, people develop traits that they need and discard the ones that are not needed, based on a predefined plan. Lamarck set the case of the giraffe’s long neck affirming that giraffes stretched their necks to reach leaves on high trees. That is why they increased the size of their necks over time and this trait was passed to their offspring.
