This has been hypothesized by serious researchers in modern times for some time, it is not breaking news. Nor is it Lysenkoism.
Righto.
But some people seem to be fixated on the notion that genetic information is simply passed down from generation to generation without change except by random mutation.
That’s always seemed a little simplistic to me. I’ve recently been running across research, for instance, that viruses may be able to modify the DNA of the host organism. Which opens up some interesting possibilities for the mechanism of evolution.
