Epigenetic adaptations: a reply to Suter, Boffelli and Martin

Suter, Boffelli and Martin (SBM) [[1][1]] have usefully engaged with our recent article [[2][2]] and in doing so have helped to expose our core concerns. Fundamentally, they are in agreement that there is no requirement for a paradigm shift away from the modern synthesis (MS). We also agree with
