As the coffee cup turns and yearns to look away. Look away. Look away. Dixie land…

For all of it’s slave labor and sharecropping, Dixieland could never raise coffee like Juan Valdez in Columbia. And since the caffiene bean is the IV of modern Industrial and Post-Industrial life, old times there are best not nostalgized.

And just think how Jews were burning to simply assimilate in Germany and even before it was called Germany. Excelled in professional positions. Super patriotic and decorated in second world war. No good deeds go unpunished and careful what ya ask for.

I can’t remember the title of book that described the anxiety of pregnant hiding from Nazis while pregnant and how all the kids were mental. But the imagery it created in my mind sure has sticky fingas.

The study in The Guardian article only had 32 Jewish men and womenwho were held in Nazi concentration camps, had suffered or witnessed tortured, or who had to hide during World War II.

Yea interesting vid on Lamarck.

I don’t know if anything got passed on to me epigenetically. Two generations removed from Germans murdering my family. Plus i am a half breed.

Fantastic, enlightening video and book on Lamarck! I learned even more about him from this video.

I didn’t know Lamarck was the first weatherman! Napoleon really screwed himself and his troops by dissing Lamarck. If Lamarck’s weather correspondence had extended to Russia, maybe Napoleon’s men wouldn’t have had to eat their own horses…[Read more]

I DuckDuck-ed up the words “Epigenetics” and “Dutch Famine 1944” and “Holocaust victims.”. I think I now see where you get your attachment to the idea.

The Homo erectus cooperative breeding was the culmination of a long process of peeling un-weaned infants away from their mothers, that might have taken 2-4 million years.

Enco, I can’t sign on to your read of Lamarck. I see him as a rationalist who sought to explain the natural world.

You just did sign on, because that and more is exactly what I said of Lamarck. But Rationalists can make mistakes as well, zas long as Reason is free to correct them, which Reason has.

Great article from The European Conservative! Perfectly in the same genre as the resolute works of Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sultan, and Salman Rushdie!

Epigenetic inheritability is a fact, but that, of. course was not what Lamarckianism defended.

What Lamarck defended would amount to saying that a tattoo, a cut, a burn, or an amputation on a parent would pass on by heredity to offspring. Obviously, none of that is the case.

Epigenetic Inheritability is closer to Mendelianism in that…[Read more]

To get back to Lamarck, just because his notion of inherited acquisition is mistaken, does not mean he made no contributions to biological (and indeed other sciences.).

Both child care by the tribe and child care by AI need thorough oversight to insure a good result and really should only be an auxillary and a last resort. It would probably tear my nerves up if I were a parent!

Oh and as an aside there is documentation apart from microbes of insanely fast evolution. Moths during industrial revolution when trees turned black due to pollution made white moths targets. Selection pressure caused very rapid response and produced black moths. There are others as well.

In both instances when pondering Lamarck and Darwin change or evolution is dependent on individuals.

A big difference between Lamarckianism and Darwinianism is that Lamarck’s Theory focuses on agency of individual organisms, whereas Darwinianism focused on developed biological adaptations of whole species.

Another shortcoming of Lamarack is that a giraffe with a longer neck would have to grow added hide and hair, added muscle, added…[Read more]
