Abstract
CRICK1 once stated explicitly that the stability of the nucleic acid molecule ruled out the possibility that acquired characteristics might be hereditary—molecular biologists, in spite of a curiously detached attitude toward the philosophy of biology, have generally tended to support Weismann and to reject the views of Lamarck and Darwin concerning the effects of the environment on heredity.
