'''Jean Baptiste Lamarck''' was one of the first scientists to develop the idea of evolution (though a different version than [[Darwin]]'s).
Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet was born in the village of Bazentin-le-Petit in the north of France, on August 1, 1744. He was the youngest of eleven children in a family with a centuries-old tradition of military service; his father and several of his brothers were soldiers.
