उत्तर
Jean Baptiste Lamarck
Explanation:
Jean Baptiste Lamarck proposed the theory of inheritance of acquired characters (Lamarckism), which stated that traits organisms acquire during their lifetime as a result of use or disuse could be passed on to their offspring. This theory is summarized in his four postulates including the use and disuse of organs and inheritance of acquired characters. He presented these ideas in his 1809 book “Philosophie Zoologique” and is known as the main historical advocate of the acquired traits hypothesis.
