From Environmental Epigenetics to the Inheritance of Acquired Traits: A Historian and Molecular Perspective on an Unnecessary Lamarckian Explanation
In the last decade, it has been suggested that epigenetics may enhance the adaptive possibilities of animals and plants to novel environments and/or habitats and that such epigenetic changes may be inherited from parents to offspring, favoring their adaptation. As a consequence, several Authors call...
