giraffes. The laws of inherit-
ance discovered by Mendel in
1865 proved that it was impos-

during life to be handed on to
subsequent generations.
Lamarck’s giraffe fairy tale was
thus consigned to the waste-

trees, their necks were extended from generation to generation.
Darwin also gave similar examples. In his book The Origin of
Species, for instance, he said that some bears going into water to

find food transformed themselves into whales over time. 49
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 selection fell out of favor as an evolutionary mech-
anism.

In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern
Synthetic Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-
