Lamarck is the one who suggested that giraffes developed their long necks over time through the use and disuse of body parts, specifically by stretching their necks to reach higher leaves, and then passing these acquired characteristics onto their offspring. This idea is part of Lamarck's theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics.
