The Book by Shapiro "Evolution" is a massive review article, covering every new avenue of study into epignetics,ways in which the cell or organism can adapt its genetics to combat a new challenge in nature. Many of the new avenues are barely opened, raising more questions than answers. But the overall import of the book's new theory is that it appears that intelligence lies within the newly discovered mechanics of genome changability. It smackes of teleology and this drives hidebound Darwinists nuts, as the following review shows.-Shapiro goes not like ID and says so; but the ID folks love to quote him, because he is turning Darwinism-of-old on its head. He is a leading example of why the Altenberg 16 had to meet two years ago to consider a new group-think for the Neo-Darwin contingent.-http://evolvingthoughts.net/2011/08/yet-another-post-darwinism/
