No. You did not answer the question.
What was Lamarck's explanation of evolution?
How was it different from Darwin's theory?
Lamarck believed that organisms tried to make themselves better during their lifetimes and that the improvements or changes they made would be passed on to their offspring.
In Darwin's theory, natural selection plays the key role. Organisms vary through random mutations--slight changes from their parents. The environment determines which are most likely to survive.
In Lamarck's theory, changes in phenotype are inherited.
