Lamarkism might be seeing a revival. Not really! But something you might see as similar: epigenetics. Scientists are increasingly aware that gene expression is controlled by more than the genes themselves. Some of these control factors may be inheritable.
- tokenadult 16y ago[citation needed] It's important to be clear what people are talking about when they mention epigenetics. What examples did you have in mind?
- rubashov 16y agoHe gave you a citation. search on epigenetics. It's seen a lot of headlines in the last couple years.

I have quite a large number of reference works on genetics at hand in my office, and I was asking specifically which study the HN participant to whom I was replying had in mind.
