| Description: |
This book discusses the evidence for and against the heritability of acquired characters. Since it presents original and controversial arguments about the importance of epigenetic inheritance, this work provides a basis for discussion, modelling, and experimental investigation of the role of environmentally induced variation in evolution. Of interest to a broad range of biologists and other scientists. With a new Preface describing the impact of the hardback editionon subsequent research and a new Appendix of selected publications influenced by the book. |
| Synopsis: |
Since first publication of this controversial book, much of the initial opposition to the ideas it contained has been replaced by a general, although often grudging, acceptance of them. Advances in knowledge, especially at the molecular level, have enhanced general awareness and interest in epigenetics and the evolution of systems that store and transmit information and put any of the authors' speculations on a more solid basis. This paperback edition contains a new Preface that sets out the major changes in the scientific world and in the authors' own thinking that have occurred since the book was published. A new Appendix provides a selected bibliography of the many books and articles about epigenetic inheritance and its role in evolution that have appeared since first publication. |
