Here's a semi serious one: They imply that there is a genetic mechanism other than sexual selection. This one is going on about smoking knocking off methyl groups on DNA and the effects persisting for generations. Sounds like Sheldrake's acquired characteristics to me - definitely non-Darwinian. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18925334.000;jsessionid=NJMKLCBMNH FF I like the way the establishment kinda subsumes controversial stuff quietly without ever admitting it was wrong. Same old some old is the Americanism, I think. Remi. ....................................... Website http://luna.bton.ac.uk/~roc1 .......................................
