footnotes =Wilhelm His, Sr. (1831-1904) invented the

soft inheritance (Lamarkism ). The passage runs [original in German] : "Until it has been refuted, I stand by the statement that characters can not be inherited that were acquired during the lifetime of the individual". The passage comes from his W. 1874. "Unsere Körperform und das physiologische Problem ihrer Enstehung". Vogel, Leipzig. The historical significance is that it was not until 1883 thatAugust Weismann made a similar declaration.His is also remembered for disputing the veracity of
Ernst Haeckel 's drawings of embryo, which had been used as justifcation for the development ofrecapitulation theory .References
