I've heard of theories where our adaptations (genes we use a lot because of a specific environment) are more likely to be passed on to our children. My kids should be mathematicians who can swim very fast.
My kids should be mathematical musicians who aren't particularly good at swimming. All the more need for TROJAN SHARKS.
I agree the world needs more trojan sharks

Isn't this a variation of Lamarckian biology, where it was theorized that somatic phenotypes could be passed down to subsequent generations? (For example: Cutting off a mouse's tail would result in tailless mice.)
I'm not sure I have heard of any evidence for experiential changes making their way into germ lines.
???
I'm not an expert on the subject. I thought I could either look it up on-line... or take the easy way out and make a ballot about it. I know there are theories about memories being passed down to explain phenomena such as de ja vu.
I have some very strange thoughts sometimes... and so did my Dad... Hhmmm...
I heard that if you are a killer or alcoholic it becomes genetic. Evolution of the human mind does probably happen that way.
Wasn't that stuff disproved ages ago?
How can it have been disproved when we aren't even certain how the most of the human mind works?
