    The view that specific modifications or ‘acquired characters’ of individuals are inherited by their offspring is also called Lamarckism, Lamarckian Inheritance, or Neo-Lamarckism. […] Lamarckian inheritance is often emphasized in opposition to natural selection.

    the tendency to react exhibited by the parent is transmitted, and if the tendency is exceptionally great a fals suggestion of a Lamarckian inheritance can readily result.
