Also known as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Chevalier de Lamarck, Lamarck, Lam., Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet de Lamarck
French naturalist (1744-1829)
Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck was a French naturalist who lived from 1744 to 1829 and made important contributions to the study of living organisms during the late 1700s and early 1800s. He is historically significant because he developed early theories about how life changes over time, which influenced how scientists thought about evolution before Charles Darwin's work became widely accepted.

Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck (1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829), often known simply as Lamarck (/ləˈmɑːrk/; French: [ʒɑ̃batist lamaʁk]), was a French naturalist, biologist, academic, and soldier. He was an early proponent of the idea that biological evolution occurred and proceeded in accordance with natural laws, though the mechanism he suggested has been refuted at large.
Lamarck fought in the Seven Years' War against Prussia, and was awarded a commission for bravery on the battlefield. Posted to Monaco, Lamarck became interested in natural history and resolved to study medicine. He retired from the army after being injured in 1766, and returned to his medical studies. Lamarck developed a particular interest in botany, and later, after he published the three-volume work Flore françoise (1778), he gained membership of the French Academy of Sciences in 1779. Lamarck became involved in the Jardin des Plantes and was appointed to the Chair of Botany in 1788. When the French National Assembly founded the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in 1793, Lamarck became a professor of zoology.
