Book examines genetic findings beyond evolution

The Soma: How Our Genes Really Work and Why That Changes Everything! by scientist Robyn Lindley intends to explore the latest
findings in genetics and scientific evidence that supports Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's theory of acquired inheritance.

"I wanted to write about this because we are about to enter a scientific revolution like no other," says Lindley. "Acceptance of the idea of acquired inheritance effects shatters our old world view based on natural selection and random mutations. It also raises some new moral and social responsibilities that, sooner or later, we will need to confront."
