Oops! It’s back!
The long discredited concept of Lamarckism, which hypothesizes the heritability of characteristics acquired during one’s lifetime, just got resuscitated... big time.
They’ve got hard evidence of it now.
From a practical standpoint, what this means is that the full impact of early childhood intervention with stimulation has a knock-on effect with the next generation.
It also offers the first reasonable explanation of the Flynn Effect that I’ve ever seen.
The implications of this, especially from an educational policy standpoint are HUGE!
