The ultimate evolutionary smackdown! This meme brilliantly roasts Lamarck's theory of acquired characteristics - where giraffes supposedly stretched their necks to reach higher leaves and passed those stretched necks to their offspring. The progression shows trees growing taller, giraffes stretching more and more until... the moon tells them to back off! It's basically Darwin and modern genetics giving Lamarckism the scientific equivalent of "nice try, but no." The title references Cuvier and Weismann, two scientists who were major critics of Lamarckism. Weismann famously cut off mice tails for generations to prove that acquired traits aren't inherited (spoiler: baby mice kept being born with tails). Biology burn of the highest order!
