This book discusses the evidence for and against the heritability of acquired characters. Since it presents original and probably controversial arguments about the importance of epigenetic inheritance, this work provides a basis for discussion, modelling, and experimental investigation of the role of environmentally induced variation in evolution. Of interest to a broad range of biologists and other scientists.

The Quarterly Review of Biology ...a challenging and useful book, both because it provokes a careful scrutiny of one's own basic ideas regarding evolutionary theory, and because it cuts across so many biological disciplines.

Biology and Philosophy In my view, this work exemplifies Theoretical Biology at its best...here is rampant speculation that is consistently based on cautious reasoning from the available data. Even more refreshing is the absence of sloganeering, grandstanding, and "isms".

Evolution Epigenetics is fundamental to understanding both development and gene expression, and not surprisingly, evolutionary biologists have long been fascinated with its proper place in evolutionary theory...Enter Jablonka and Lamb, who provide a thoughtful review of the recent molecular literature and suggest a number of potential consequences.

Preface The legacy of Lamarckism Neodarwinian explanations of the inheritance of acquired characters Induced genetic variations Cellular heredity: epigenetic inheritance systems Genomic imprinting: the inheritance of directed epigenetic variations Interactions between genetic and epigenetic inheritance The role of epigenetic inheritance systems in adaptive evolution Heredity and the origin of species Multiple inheritance systems Glossary References Index
