In recent decades molecular geneticists have made great strides in understanding DNA and the layers of epigenetic (above the genes) management that "decide" how to interpret the DNA. Epigenetic processes exhibit what looks like foresight in initiating heritable, beneficial genetic changes. This has significant impacts on Darwin's theory, which most evolutionary scientists are ignoring, but a few are embracing. Things are changing.
