--- abstract: 'The argument that heritable epigenetic change plays a distinct role in evolution would be strengthened through recognition that it is what bootstrapped the origin and early evolution of life, and like behavioral and symbolic change, is non-Darwinian. The mathematics of natural selection, a population-level process, is limited to replication with negligible individual-level change, i.e. that uses a self-assembly code.' altloc: - http://www.vub.ac.be/CLEA/liane/Reviews/e4d.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: "E.
