Jean Baptiste Lamarck proposed a theory of evolution that emphasized an intrinsic drive towards greater complexity and perfection in organisms, influenced by their use or disuse of certain characteristics, which were then passed on to their offspring. This theory, known as Lamarckism, highlights a dynamic relationship between species and their environment, suggesting that environmental pressures could lead to changes in species over time.
