Epigenetics, revisited; new exciting studies (Introduction)
The reason I’ve brought it up here is the clear suggestion that epigenetic mechanisms were at work: change in climate/environment leads to adaptation and innovation – there must have been major anatomical adjustments to allow for the switch from tree-dweller to grassland runner – and these all prove to be hereditary in the long-term. Another step closer to Shapiro, then?
Bats have speciated rapidly in the past 15 million years. It raises the question suggested here: do epigenetic mechanisms lead to punctuated equilibrium?
