He came up with the first framework for an evolutionary theory, including natural selection, even though he got some basic things wrong. This influenced how his successors thought about and solved problems in evolutionary theory.
He thought that life spontaneously generated, rather than proceeding from some orderly process of reproduction.
He is often mistakenly said to have thought that wounds and amputations suffered by one generation would pass to the next. He did not think this.
Lamarck died shortly before Darwin went on historic trip to South America on the HMS Beagle.
