A revolutionary new study 'reignites' an old debate: The theory of evolution may be incorrect

A study by Chinese scientists has revived a 19th-century theory that contradicts Charles Darwin's theory.

The study, published in the journal Cell , shows that acquired traits can influence heredity without changing the DNA strand.

The study led by scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences focused on rice plants exposed to cold stress.

These plants could inherit the tolerance of low-temperature adaptation in 5 generations. This process bypasses the genetic mutations that are the foundation of Darwinism.

The study highlights a possible mechanism of epigenetic inheritance, where environmental factors can make heritable changes without affecting the genetic chain.

The study revives the debate between French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Darwin. The latter argued that random genetic variation is the basis of evolution, while Lamarck claimed that organisms could inherit learned survival traits.

This not only defends the French naturalist's ideas, but also challenges modern biology to reconcile epigenetics with the fundamental principles of evolution.

The research identified heritable DNA methylation changes as the main cause of cold adaptation in plants. Rice varieties from cold northeastern China exhibited these non-genetic adaptations. This means that Lamarckism is a significant, albeit partial, factor in the evolutionary manual that explains how organisms adapt to their environment.

The study could influence our understanding of evolution and inheritance by challenging current principles of the transmission of traits between generations.
