Jean-Baptiste Lamarck is having the ultimate posthumous victory dance! The poor guy spent 200 years being the laughingstock of evolutionary biology for suggesting that acquired traits could be inherited. Then epigenetics shows up and proves he wasn't completely wrong after all! Turns out environmental factors can influence gene expression without changing DNA sequences. Somewhere in the afterlife, Lamarck is doing this exact dance while Darwin awkwardly sips his tea. Vindication takes time—about two centuries in this case—but who's counting?
