It appears you are suggesting Lamarckian evolution which has been ruled out. If I am misunderstanding your post, could you direct me to some documentation where predation caused inheritable changes?

"It appears you are suggesting Lamarckian evolution which has been ruled out."

It has not been ruled out. In fact, it is gaining ground nearly every day. For an example of Lamarckian evolution, see:

Transposable elements as activators of cryptic genes in E. coli.

Coevolution: The Geographic Mosaic of Coevolutionary Arms Races

From the article:

The spread of introduced species seems be creating new geographic mosaics of coevolution as some species become invasive and coevolve with native species in different ways in different regions or drive rapid evolution in native species, sometimes in less than a hundred years or so. (emphasis mine)

I wasn't sure which of you were involved in this conversation, but I thought I'd point out an article demonstrating Lamarckian inheritance through epigenetic mechanisms:

Environmental programming of heritable epigenetic changes in paramutant r-gene expression using temperature and light at a specific stage of early development in maize seedlings

This experiment provides the first evidence in higher organisms that environmental conditions, applied at a specific stage of development cause a heritable change in a specific allele expression. (emphasis mine)
