J. Lamarck's major work. Published in 1809. 2 volumes. Along with "Systema invertebrates" (1801) and "Historia invertebrates" (15), it details the theory of evolution known as Lamarckism. These books can be said to have founded the idea of evolution as a theory, but it was not accepted at the time and emerged as Neo-Lamarckism in the 1870s after Lamarck's death. Part 1 summarizes the theory of evolution, namely the theory of use and disuse, and the inheritance of acquired characteristics, and also presents the fundamental problem of animal classification and the first proposal for a phylogenetic tree. The basic idea of the whole work is that animals have a latent tendency for progressive development.

J.ラマルクの主著。 1809年刊。2巻。『無脊椎動物の体系』 (1801) ,『無脊椎動物誌』 (15) とともにラマルキズムと呼ばれる進化論が詳しく述べられている。これらの著書によって,進化思想は学説として創始されたといえるが,当時は受入れられず,ラマルクの死後 70年代にネオラマルキズムとして世に出た。第1部に進化説すなわち用不用説,獲得形質の遺伝がまとめられ,また,動物分類の根本問題,系統樹の最初の案が提出されている。全体の基本思想として動物に前進的発達の潜在傾向のあることが前提とされる。
