win, living creatures passed on the
traits they acquired during their life-
time to the next generation. He asserted
that these traits, which accumulated
from one generation to another, caused
new species to be formed. For instance,
he claimed that giraffes evolved from
antelopes; as they struggled to eat the
leaves of high trees, their necks were
extended from generation to genera-
tion.
Darwin also gave similar exam-
ples. In his book The Origin of Species,
for instance, he said that some bears
going into water to find food trans-
formed themselves into whales over
time. (Charles Darwin, The Origin of
Species: A Facsimile of the First Edition,
Harvard University Press, 1964, p. 184.)
