Page 232 - What Darwinists Fail To Consider

Lamarck believed that
giraffes evolved from
such animals as ante-
lopes. In his view, the
necks of these grass-
eating animals gradu-
ally grew longer, and
they eventually turned
into giraffes. The laws
of inheritance discov-
ered by Mendel in
1865 proved that it
was impossible for
properties acquired
during life to be hand-
ed on to subsequent
generations.
Lamarck's giraffe fairy
tale was thus con-
signed to the wastebin
of history.

However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel
(1822-84) and verified by the science of genetics, which flourished in
the twentieth century, utterly demolished the legend that acquired
traits were passed on to subsequent generations. Thus, natural selec-
tion fell out of favor as an evolutionary mechanism.
