This chapter discusses the importance of Lamarckian problematics in the philosophy of biology. It begins with an overview of the history of the philosophy of biology. It then discusses the niche construction, an important aspect of the developmental systems theory (DST). The chapter also discusses the models, mechanisms, and importance of epigenetic inheritance. Finally, the chapter examines the notion of the genome as a developmental system.
