It's a fascinating area of modern evolutionary science. I think Mat Ridley more or less discusses these sort of things in his book Nature via Nurture.

According to Abbie, epigentics isn't magic - it's just new, and to my knowledge the KLI meeting is partly going to be about refining the existing ideas such that they can incorporate the new data.
