Even without Methylation, we have another mechanism for passing on traits to offspring, raising them. Admittedly, there are many species where this is not relevant, but for species where the young live with their parents, or other members of the older generation, it seems reasonable that information and traits could be passed by cross generation interactions. The most obvious example of this is humans, who have minimal (if any) genetic advantage over cave-men. I suspect we can find simmilar instances in other species.
