Evolution in four dimensions : genetic, epigenetic, behavioural, and symbolic variation in the history of life

by Eva Jablonka, Marion J. Lamb, Anna Zeligowski

This revised edition presents a pluralistic model of evolution, arguing that heredity operates through genetic, epigenetic, behavioural, and symbolic systems. It updates evolutionary theory with recent biological research on how these four dimensions affect natural selection.

brief_description
Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb's pioneering argument proposes that there is more to heredity than genes. They describe four dimensions in heredity -- four inheritance systems that play a role in evolution: genetic, epigenetic (or non-DNA cellular transmission of traits), behavioral, and symbolic (transmission through language and other forms of symbolic communication).
