The great French zoologist Lamarck (1744-1829) was best known for
his theory of evolution, called 'soft inheritance', whereby
organisms pass down acquired characteristics to their offspring.
Originally a soldier, Lamarck later studied medicine and biology.
His distinguished career included admission to the French Academy
of Sciences (1779), and appointments as Royal Botanist (1781) and
as professor of zoology at the Musee Nationale d'Histoire Naturelle
in 1793. Acknowledged as the premier authority on invertebrate
zoology, he is credited with coining the term 'invertebrates'. In
this 1809 work, translated into English in 1914, he outlines his
theory that under the pressure of different external circumstances,
species can develop variations, and that new species and genera can
eventually evolve as a result. Darwin paid tribute to Lamarck as
the man who 'first did the eminent service of arousing attention to
the probability of all change ... being the result of law'.
Best known for his ideas relating to evolution, French naturalist
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) first built his reputation as a
botanist and was elected to the prestigious Academie des Sciences
in 1779. His career took a new turn in 1793 when he was made
professor of 'insects, worms and microscopic animals' at the Museum
National d'Histoire Naturelle, although he lacked prior knowledge
of the subject area. Undaunted, Lamarck set out to classify
organisms which few naturalists had considered worthy of study
since Linnaeus. He was the first to distinguish vertebrates from
'invertebrates' - a term he coined - by the presence of a vertebral
column. In this groundbreaking seven-volume work, published between
1815 and 1822, he arranges invertebrates into twelve classes,
laying the foundations for the modern study of these organisms.
Volume 1, first published in 1815, introduces zoological concepts
and begins the classification with the simplest microscopic
organisms, the infusoria.

Acknowledged as the premier authority on invertebrate zoology, he
is credited with coining the term 'invertebrates'. This work,
published in Paris in 1801, expands on Linnaeus' classification
system, introducing seven sub-categories, creating finer divisions
along lines of the species' inherent physical traits, and
describing their natural characteristics and organisation. Also
included is Lamarck's museum lecture, delivered in 1800, in which
he first set out his ideas on evolution.

Acknowledged as the premier authority on invertebrate zoology, he
is credited with coining the term 'invertebrates'. In this
two-volume work of 1809, he outlines his theory that under the
pressure of different external circumstances, species can develop
variations, and that new species and genera can eventually evolve
as a result. Darwin paid tribute to Lamarck as the man who 'first
did the eminent service of arousing attention to the probability of
all change ... being the result of law'.
