Bill Sardi: "... The biological phenomenon called epigenetics has been known since the 1970s, but for unexplained reasons, not really discussed at large till recently. Keeping epigenetics obscure may have served a purpose – to advance and maintain the fading idea of Darwinian biology. Darwinian evolution demands millions of years for mutations to occur, whereas epigenetics is now.
Up till recently the prevailing thought has been that that only Darwinian "natural selection" can cause permanent genetic change. This is now being challenged. Dr. Asim K. Duttaroy, Professor at the Department of Nutrition, Institute for Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway, says: "inheritance is not just about which genes we inherit but whether these are switched on or off, which is a whole new frontier in biology."
Only a few biologists dare say what needs to be said. In a 2004 paper entitled "Evolution by epigenesis: farewell to Darwinism, neo- and otherwise," Eugene K. Balon, of the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, wrote ..."
