    Evolution has moved far beyond the works of Darwin.

    Also, lifestyle does affect evolution, as in, the environment affects the survival of certain aspects compared to others.

    As for the chickens, the young chicks probably pick up behaviours from their parents, and since their parents behaviour was already shot due to the experiment, this shot behaviour was taught to the children.

    I'd like to see a more solid group of studies backing the effects they describe. But they did say that the tested the genes of the chicks, didn't they?

    Science, sure, but we're talking about our genes here, not our tech.
    ah but therein lies the difference. our tech is such a difference maker for survivability that it will affect the population.
