Synopsis
This text challenges the accepted theory on the genetic mechanism of evolution. The traditional neo-darwinian view is that we are at the mercy of our genes which we inherit, largely unchanged, from our parents, apart from random mutations which accumulate and lead to change over evolutionary time. The work shows that for one adaptive body system there is strong molecular genetic evidence that aspects of acquired immunities developed by parents during their lifetime may be passed on to their children. This gives new credibility to the Lamarckian heresy - the notion of the inheritance of acquired characteristics, which has, until now, been refuted.

From the Back Cover
This is an explosively controversial book that challenges the accepted theory on the genetic mechanism of evolution. The traditional neo-Darwinian view assumes we are at the mercy of our genes which we inherit largely unchanged from our parents except for random mutations whichaccumulates and lead to change of evolutionary time.
This book shows that for one adaptive body system there is strong molecular genetic evidence that aspects of acquired immunities developed by parents in their own lifetime can be passed on to their offspring. It gives new life and scientific credibility to the Lamarckian heresy - the notion of the inheritance of qcquired characteristics.
