thank you so much. this looks as if a 'neo-lamarckian' issue. as this rival of darwin's views has been shown largely correct (steele, et.al.)and Chuckie pretty much laid to rest by experimental method, it would explain much. for instance, if my ancestors used coke or opiates, as many did legally, use could become an 'aquired-characteristic', passed on. darwin's absurd relial on 'random mutations' never fit the 'fossil-record' or the fact that english sheep dogs are born 'trained-to-the-whistle', or any common sense. but he did provide the colonial imperialism of his time with an exuse for global crime. lamarck was french, we speak english. that matters also. but now, lamarck's thinking is sweeping evolutionary science. we do alter our hereditary structure while each of us lives, by environmental interaction---passing on 'aquired characteristics'. this explains current problems with addiction and a host of things. 'natural selection's' pretty much a 'mass-extinction survivor deal'---and the current glut of opiate/coke use simply the expected result from prior generations usage. thanks, regards
