I thought I recognized you from someplace, or maybe an archetype.

:’) I’m always epi to talk genetics with you, but I’m more concerned about my heir line. I think I inherited that too.

Who knows. The results are early and may produce interest causing further studies. UCLA researchers produced similar results a few years ago. However, the UCLA study did not predict the possibility of gene influence.

I have always been skeptical of the theory of natural selection by random genetic mutation. I rarely discuss the issue, though, because inevitably it ends with me being accused of being an anti-evolution creationist.
One of my enduring memories of high school was my biology text that for some reason went out of its way to mock Lamarck and how people of that era could have been so foolish when Darwin's work was the final answer to all the questions about evolution. I think Lamarck will have the last laugh!

I think Noah’s archetype is probably the best known.

“How many autistic kids go on to breed?”
I don’t know - time will tell, but there certainly seems to be an increase. I didn’t know any kids with this when I was a suburban child in the 50s and 60s. While raising 3 children who didn’t have autism over the past 18 years, I became astonished at all the articles about this and then discovered many parents home educating them very well. What % have Asperger’s?

So Lysenko may have been right after all? Or do we tip our hats to Lamarck but leave Lysenko out of it?

Enless Forms Most Beautiful by Sean Carroll is a fascinating book to read if this subject interests you.
