I would like to tell the geneticists, "Don't be so quick in denying the epigenetic transmission
into the next generations." If it can happen in plants and in some animals, why is it impossible
in human beings? I think denying the epigenetic transmission may be too early.
I think (despite my having no evidence) the evolution cannot happen only by Darwin's theory.
I believe there must be some other mechanisms to determine the direction of the evolution.
The "Random-Mutations-Only" cannot explain the enormous quickness of evolution
with its "specific unified directional" movement.
Look at the modern Korean girls. Their body shape is totally different from their moms and grandmas. Do you mean that the random mutations toward the western body shape happened
to all the Korean girls just within one or two generations?
There has to be something else such as the action of epigenesis.
Please believe your own eyes and thoughts, and be doubtful.
Let's not trust everything those scholars, researchers, and PHDs are saying from their test tubes.
Don't be so quick in trusting their conclusions and their "biased haphazard" researches.
We should always be suspicious of their ivory towers.
We got to use, rely upon, and respect our own plain common sense too.

Thanks, Doc, for your counter comments. I appreciate that. It makes the discussion interesting.
I was not talking about the features that can be easily changed by plastic surgeries.
The main attention I gave was the body proportion, that is, longer legs compared to the upper body.
As you said, it's very possible that older Korean ladies might have suffered a nutritional deficiency
and had stunted growth of the long bones of the legs.
They don't have the same legs as American ladies.
I can tell a mile away if a lady may be an old Korean (or Asian) rather than an American.
Let's watch what happens to the offspring of the Korean beauties (body 짱).
My second thought is that we give too much confidence in the so-called scientific researches.
A lot of them could be just a big BS by the bias from personal and economical pressure.
Please just look at the confusion we are getting about the Covid vaccination.
It is being swayed by pharmaceutical companies and political pressures.
People can change according to what they want to be like.
Will the acquired change carry on to the next generation? We need more observation.
It may be too early to deny the epigenetic transmission and epigene theory yet.
No matter how limited it may be, if there's some, it should be studied very seriously.
As the earth gets hotter, we have to make human beings that can tolerate higher temperatures
for the survival of the human race in the latter part of this century or in the next one.
Here, for example, epigenesis comes into our focus.
It should not be abandoned or written off just by the infantile research results.
If here is an epigenetic phenomenon in us, it could be one of God's will.

felt that this update was useful to me.
Once again the importance of environment is noted by its ability to modify
our DNA and RNA by methylation and hydroxymethylation although these epigenes
are no longer believed to be trans generational as once believed years ago.
We can see well how environment such as smoking, alcohol drink, exposure to
carcinogens, and other traumas create these epigenes, which in turn bring on
cancers and others.
