I whawhai a Lamarck i te Pakanga Pomeranian (1757<unk>62) ki a Prussia, a i whakawhiwhia ki a ia he komihana mo te maia i te pakanga. I tukuna ki Monaco, i hiahia a Lamarck ki te hitori taiao ka whakatau ki te ako rongoa. I reti ia i te ope i muri i te whara i te tau 1766, ka hoki ki ana akoranga rongoa. I whakawhanakehia e Lamarck he hiahia motuhake ki te tipu, ana i muri mai, i muri i tana whakaputa i te mahi e toru-pukupu Flore françoise (1778), ka uru ia ki te mema o te French Academy of Sciences i te tau 1779. I uru a Lamarck ki te Jardin des Plantes, ka tohua hei Tiamana o Botany i te tau 1788. I te wa i whakatuhia ai e te National Assembly French te Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle i te tau 1793, ka noho a Lamarck hei kaiwhakaako mo te koiora. Patai: He aha ta Lamarck i mahi i muri i tana wehenga mai i te ope?
