The idea that long giraffe necks resulted from from the more successful/long-necked giraffes having more offspring than those with shorter necks was first proposed by Darwin, which only proves that Darwin didn't know much about giraffes. The average male giraffe has a neck about a foot longer than the average female giraffe. If only the longest-necked giraffes survived to have offspring, the females would have died out quickly, making the giraffes extinct. Whatever the reason for giraffes having long necks, it doesn't support Darwin's theory. Which is not an argument that natural selection doesn't exist, but only that one must beware of"just so" stories.

one must beware of"just so" stories. The other problem with micro-evolutionary theory is that there is no fossil evidence for it, contrary to Darwin's prediction.
The fossil record shows stasis in species. Species exit the fossil record the way they came in.
