Funny thing, with epigenetics, maybe Lamarckianism looks to be vindicated in a very limited, highly qualified way, after all.

And another funny thing, there was a lot of tasty scientific goodness in that article without much fundamentalist preaching! I sure hope the good people at CMI are feeling well.

You are quite right. The Evos who are clamoring for dumping Darwin in favor of a new evolutionary synthesis are most definitely giving Lamarckian evolution a second look. Of course, environmentally directed adaptation is not the only thing they are looking at. But the mere fact that they are dusting off Lamarck would have been considered heresy a few years ago (and still is by many neo-Darwinists, such as Richard Darwkins et al).
