Jean Baptiste Lamarck was the first scientist to come up with the idea of evolution (though a different version than [[Darwin]]'s). Lamarck suggested that giraffes got long necks by stretching to reach trees, when clearly they got long necks because [[God]] wanted them to be long. Lamarck is now an object of derision amongst scientists, much like Darwin will be in a year or two.
