The giraffe's long neck is often used to explain the Lamarckian view of evolution. Using the giraffe as an example, compare and contrast how the giraffe got its long neck according to Lamarck and Darwin. What evidence might be used for and against each perspective? Now choose another animal with a distinctive characteristic, and explain the mechanism of evolution of this characteristic first as Lamarck would have explained it, and then as Darwin would have explained it.
