Oh FFS. Epigenetics is not Lamarckian.
Aylwyn Scally@aylwyn-scally.bsky.social · last wk.It's that time of year again..

In my lifetime, I've seen segments of society lose trust in evolutionary biology, climate science, and vaccines. None of this was due to anything scientists did. All of it was because non-scientists perceived some advantage (political, cultural, financial) in attacking science's credibility.
