Further, even if the study had held up, there is a vast difference between memories retained through an individual metamorphosis event, and passing memories along to offspring resulting from sexual reproduction. The OP fails to recognize this obvious point.

  No, I said, “There is a vast difference between memories retained through an individual metamorphosis event, and passing memories along to offspring resulting from sexual reproduction. The OP fails to recognize this obvious point.” You’re selectively quoting and then re-arranging the quotes to attempt to make yourself look better. Honestly, for someone to be posting this nonsense with a link to their LinkedIn professional profile in their bio is kind of career suicide. You’ve inadvertently stumbled into an argument on a IT tech website with people who are bona fide life scientists and are embarrassed and are clumsily trying to save face.

    My career is doing just fine, actually. Like, better than ever and I'm not making this up. Feel free to add me on LinkedIn, I have no issue in people knowing who I am; should I be scared or anything? Lol. You should try not being anonymous, just a suggestion, :). You said: "Memory [...] is separate from epigenetic changes" I replied with a study that seems to suggest otherwise. That's not really hard to follow ... >IT tech website Hmm naw man, Hacker News is way more than that. Also, why would I be embarrassed? You are just projecting too much unto others, chill.
