Which scientist would agree with this statement: Giraffes all had short necks originally. Individual giraffes stretched their necks for food. The "acquired" long necks from stretching were then passed on to the offspring. The giraffe population became long-necked please help I need to figure out which scientist it is

Lamarck

In the case of a giraffe, Lamarck believed that giraffes once had short necks that got progressively longer as members of each subsequent generation stretched their necks as long as they could. In doing so, Lamarck believed that each generation would grow slightly longer necks and pass that trait onto their offspring.Jan. 16, 2018
