The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Innateness and the Sciences (2006, background): “This is an oversimplification that can lead to the ignoring of important biological phenomena (Falconer and Mackay 1996; Lynch and Walsh 1997; Mameli 2004).”
Epigenetically facilitated mutational assimilation: epigenetics as a hub within the inclusive evolutionary synthesis (2018, background): “The existence of non-genetic inheritance has long been debated (among many reviews see Danchin et al., 2004, 2011; Mameli, 2004; Richards, 2006; Rando & Verstrepen, 2007; Franklin & Mansuy, 2010; Pigliucci & Muller, 2010; Bonduriansky, Crean & Day, 2011; Herman & Sultan, 2011; Chen, Yan & Duan, 2016”
Genes, Memes and Human History (2004, background): “To the extent that these phenotypic features enhance fitness, and to the extent that the psycho-cultural channels are reliable and of high fidelity, these information packages and the traits associated with them will increase in frequency as generations pass (Mameli, 2004).”
Causal Processes, Fitness, and the Differential Persistence of Lineages (2008, background): “This idea that spatial position can sometimes be part of the phenotype and be inherited has been described in other contexts in biology, namely, ecological inheritance (Odling-Smee, Laland, and Feldman 2003), and in some projects in philosophy (Mameli 2004).”
