Lamarck published his hypothesis of ________________________ the year Darwin was born. changed over time Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1809) descended Inheritance of Acquired traits http://www.educa.rcanaria.es/fundoro/00.corsi.htm

22. The male fiddler crab uses its front claw to attract mates and ward off predators. Through repeated use, the front claw becomes larger. The fiddler passes on this acquired characteristic to its offspring

If you lifted weights your whole young adult life, and then you had children, would your kids be more muscular? inherited NO! Acquired traits may help an organism, but they won’t be passed on to offspring. http://www.geocities.com/arnold_schwarzenegger_pictures/
