I thought I had a passing familiarity with it, but I confess I was lumping it together with Lysenkoism. I recall the story of the mice clearly. But, what I was looking for were specific stories where Wolfe discusses or defends his belief in Lamarkism. Can you help me out here? BTW, have you read DARWIN'S CENTURY by Loren Eiseley? He is another favorite author of mine. In this book he discusses all of the discoveries of others that Darwin built his own theory upon. I enjoyed it, but less than his collections of essays.
