What is Lamarck's theory?
Lamarck's theory suggests that changes that are obtained during a lifetime can be passed on to the offspring of that creature. The changes typically favour survival for the animal. For example, if a giraffe's neck stretched during its lifetime from continually reaching upwards in order to obtain leaves from trees for survival, its offspring would be born with a longer neck as this trait would have been passed on.
