''' How does Lamark's theory differ from Darwin's?'''
In basic terms, Lamarck thought that the way an animal behaved during its life could affect the form of its offspring. [[Darwin]] meanwhile thought that an individual animal might have a characteristic that gave it an advantage over other individuals of the same species, meaning that it would be more successful in reproduction.

The best example to illustrate this is in considering how the [[giraffe]] came to have a long neck.
