In the never ending quest to defeat the idea of evolution we get this:
Darwin's theory of evolution has been dealt a stinging blow by a group of Swedish-Norwegian researchers. The group, led by Professor Per Jensen from Linköping University, has launched a challenge to Darwin's notion that behaviour cannot be inherited.
In a study published by scientific journal PLoS ONE, the group found that the young of domestic hens exposed to high levels of stress displayed similar behavioral anomalies despite growing up in a stress free environment.
Furthermore, genetic modifications in the young chickens' brains were similar to those developed by their parents as a result of stress.
However:
Per Jensen is keen to stress that the results do not mean that Darwin was wrong.
