I think the Marlin Lab is proving that Lamarckism wasn't totally wrong. It's a very interesting development in Evolution theory and science. I'll be paying close attention. Particularly to how trauma effects genetic material.

A lot going on here. #Nietzsche on #Hegel #Lamarck vs #Schopenhauer vs #Darwin in Walter Kaufman.

Always seemed weird to me that people forget that Darwin also allowed for acquired characteristics. I feel like he was deliberately misread for a long time, to make him appear compatible with Neo-Darwinism (whose shortcomings are now shown in epigenetics). In other words, Darwin had it right, and many, including Nietzsche, misunderstood him. #philosophy #evolution

Aquí un poco de esa historia, que va al núcleo de la teoría evolutiva:
