@hbdchick well,*some*pollutans lower human intelligence,some havebeen proven in pregnant women,but point is,the"epigenetic"effect is somatic -
@hbdchick meaning,it just screws up regular development of the nervous system, the children if not exposed to same problem turns up fine. -
@hbdchick Which simply means "don't expose a developing fetus to toxic shit", which we knew already. No place for Lamarck here. -
@hbdchick As Cochran and others say,seriously, where's the mechanism were information from the enviroment crosses the somatic-germinal line? -
@SilverVVulpes eggzactly! -
