Table 4 Summary of arguments in Sect. "Epigenetics", and Sect. "Niche construction"
Section | Biological background and main claim against WDP view |
|---|---|
5 Epigenetics | By definition, epigenetics is phenotypic expression without changes in the DNA sequence, associated with developmental and environmental factors |
6 Niche construction | Organisms actively modify their environment which improves their viability and reproductive fitness |
