Lysenko rides again!

(Which doesn’t mean the studies are inaccurate.)

I thought we got rid of this acquired traits inheritence crap back with Lamarck.

[hinckley buzzard]

We now know that genes can be turned on and off by environmental events, particularly those we consider stressful. And a "turned on" version could be as easily inherited as a turned off version, with effects seen in the phenotype. The idea was considered by Darwin but emphasized by Lamarck.

This has been hypothesized by serious researchers in modern times for some time, it is not breaking news. Nor is it Lysenkoism.
