For decades, we’ve been told that evolution is driven purely by random mutations and natural selection.

But what if that’s not the full story?

Evidence from scientists like Barbara McClintock and James Shapiro suggests that organisms can actively reorganize their genomes — especially under stress.

This challenges the idea that evolution has no direction.

Perhaps thinkers like Lamarck weren’t entirely wrong after all.
