Epigenetics and Lamarckian Genetics

Epigenetics has proven that certain environmental factors can be passed down from parents to children in a limited capacity, which challenges the idea of traditional genetic inheritance. However, this does not support Lashenko's dismissal of genes, as epigenetics involves changes to genes and these changes only last a few generations.

Epigenetics
Summary
Epigenetics, a new finding in genetic science, has shown that certain environmental factors can be passed down from parents to children through changes in genes. This has been seen as evidence that some of the ideas of Lamarckian genetics are not entirely incorrect, however, it is important to note that Lashenko didn't believe in genes.
