Weismann proposed the theory of continuity of germplasm.
August Weismann argued in the 1880s that the body is made of two kinds of tissue: the germplasm of the reproductive cells, which passes unbroken from generation to generation, and the somatoplasm of the body, which dies with the individual. Changes to the body therefore cannot be passed to offspring, a direct challenge to Lamarck's inheritance of acquired characters. He tested it by cutting the tails of mice over many generations; the offspring still had normal tails.
