Ideas about heredity and evolution are undergoing a revolutionary change. New findings in molecular biology challenge the gene-centered version of Darwinian theory according to which adaptation occurs only through natural selection chance DNA variations. In Evolution Four Dimensions, Eva Jablonka Marion Lamb argue that there is more than genes. They trace four dimensions -- inheritance systems play role evolution: genetic, epigenetic (or non-DNA cellular transmission traits), behavioral,...
Since first publication of this controversial book, much the initial opposition to ideas it contained has been replaced by a general, although often grudging, acceptance them. Advances in knowledge, especially at molecular level, have enhanced general awareness and interest epigenetics evolution systems that store transmit information put any authors' speculations on more solid basis. This paperback edition contains new Preface sets out major changes scientific world own thinking occurred...

We discuss simple models for the evolution of rates spontaneous and induced heritable phenotypic variations in a periodically fluctuating environment with cycle length between two 100 generations. For simplest case, optimal transition rate states is approximately 1/n(wherenis length). It also shown that selection under these conditions surprisingly strong. Whennis small, this means are produced by non-classical inheritance systems, including non-DNA systems. Thus, it predicted genes...
The adaptive value of carry-over effects, the persistence induced phenotypes for several generations despite change in conditions that first these phenotypes, is studied framework a simple model. Three different organismal strategies - non-inducible (genetic), completely inducible (plastic), and intermediate (carry-over) are compared fitness terms within three environments. Analytical results numerical simulations show effects can have an advantage stochastic environments even over organisms...
The semantic concept of information is one the most important, and problematical concepts in biology. I suggest a broad definition biological information: source becomes an informational input when interpreting receiver can react to form (and variations this form) functional manner. accommodates stemming from environmental cues as well evolved signals, calls for comparison between information-transmission different types inheritance systems—the genetic, epigenetic, behavioral,...
Abstract We discuss the role of cell memory in heredity and evolution. describe properties epigenetic inheritance systems (EISs) that underlie enable environmentally developmentally induced phenotypes to be transmitted lineages, argue transgenerational is an important neglected part heredity. By looking at EISs have played evolution multicellularity, ontogeny, chromosome organization, origin some post‐mating isolating mechanisms, we show how considering can sometimes shed light on major...
This paper presents some of the recent challenges to Modern Synthesis evolutionary theory, which has dominated thinking for last sixty years. The focus is challenge soft inheritance - idea that variations arise during development can be inherited. There ample evidence showing phenotypic are independent in DNA sequence, and targeted changes guided by epigenetic control systems, important sources hereditary variation, hence contribute changes. Furthermore, under certain conditions, mechanisms...
Abstract In his theory of evolution, Darwin recognized that the conditions life play a role in generation hereditary variations, as well their selection. However, evolutionary was developed further, heredity became identified with genetics, and variation seen terms combinations randomly generated gene mutations. We argue this view is now changing, because it clear notion based solely on varying genes are unaffected by developmental an inadequate basis for theories. Such not only fails to...
