cover story from the Jan 2010 issue of The Scientist discussing possible amendments (amongst others?) to be factored into a refresh of the Modern Synthesis that was set out in the 40s - namely Evolvability (looking at capacitators/potentiators of evolution), Facilitated Variation (heritable changes that stem from complex forces and factors during development) and Multilevel Inheritance (basically epigenetics)
