The evolutionists who support the Lamarckian doctrine of inheritence of acquired characters came to be known as neo- Lamarckians and their theory neo- Lamarckism. Notable supporters were Griffith, Tower, Packard and Herbert spencer, lindsey and ED Cope.
They considered that adaptation is universal. It arises as a result of casual relationshp of structure, function and environment. Changed environment conditions alter habits of organisms. Herce it response to new habits, organisms acquire new structure in place of old structure. It stresses direct action of environement on organis structure. They rejected natural selection as the sole mechanism of evolution. On the ohter hand, they believed in the interplay of structure, function and environment as the whole truth of evolution.
