Description: Evidence is accruing that epigenetic, developmental, parental, ecological and cultural inheritance mechanisms have a major impact on the evolution of phenotypic diversity. The aim of this symposium is to highlight novel results and synthesize our knowledge on the contribution of non-genetic inheritance to evolutionary processes. We will also explore the need for an extended theory of evolution where genes are not the only inheritance system.
