The two models of evolution are the Darwinian Model and the

Lamarckian Model; both of which provide an explanation for the way

traits are inherited from generation to generation. The Darwinian
model postulates that in a population, some of the individuals have
more beneficial traits than others. These traits help the individual
survive long enough to pass on the traits to their offspring, who are
also born with the traits. Eventually the disadvantageous traits are not
passed on, and new traits may emerge which get passed on. In this
manner, the environment is selecting the traits which are passed on,
as the individuals with the traits to survive the environment pass on
the genes.
The Lamarckian model of evolution states that due to the
changes in the environment, the individual will change also. As seen in
John Relethfords image, the Lamarckian model states that if and
individual (in this case a giraffe) needs a certain trait (such as greater
height), then it will grow taller, and its offspring will be taller as well.
Another way to say this would be to say that an individual is changed
by the needs of the environment. This also applies to physical traits, if
a rats tail was to be cut, then its offspring would also have shorter
tails.
The article explains this difference by showing how it is believed
that men have one less rib than females, due to God removing a rib
from Adam to create Eve. However it fails to take into account the fact
that men have the same number of ribs as females, and indicates the
faulty logic that the children would have the same number of ribs as
Adam, even though they did not have the same experience. Lamarcks
model was disproven, and Darwins model stands today as how
evolution happens: not because of the environment changing the
individual, but rather the individual who is most suited to surviving in
the environment passes on its genes.
