Wow. Believe it or not, I was into this form of lamarkianism as a pre-med in 1972. It was not considered possible.
Thus, we regard as regrettable the conventional concatenation of Darwin's name with evolution, because other modalities must also be considered.
I hope to hear comments from trained biologists on this thread. If 'Darwin is Dead', I would say the magic bullet came from an unexpected source (ie, not from 'intelligent design').
