unapi

This chapter provides an overview of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's life and his works, including his theories and contributions to evolutionary thought. Lamarck' s theories were expounded in his central writings, especially in the Philosophie zoologique and in Histoire naturelle des animaux sans vertèbres. Lamarck considered himself as one of the many naturalists who believed that the development of an organ during the lifetime of an organism, or the appearance of behavioral characteristics could be passed to an offspring if mating occurred between individuals that had experienced the same change. Overall, this chapter draws a historical portrait of Lamarck, dispelling the myths surrounding his life and career.
