There is now extant scientific evidence suggesting that nature has evolved a number of molecular mechanisms for us to consciously direct our own evolutionary future. It seems that Lamarck was right after all! In Soma, Dr Robyn Lindley provides us with an easy to understand and quite sobering account of what the new genetics is telling us... "What the mother ate, can determine whether mice pups have a yellow coat, a brown coat or a mottled yellow and brown coat." "You are what your parents ate. Well sometimes" "Smoking and chemicals in the work place can cause sperm damage for generations to come." "Repeated behaviours are inherited." ...and much more! We ignore the consequences at our peril. Learn why scientists now believe that acquired inheritance effects are real.
