Hank, he is trying to explain 'epigenetics' in a
'dumbed-down' manner, but went way too skimpy
on the technical details.
It is not really accurate though. Epigenetics explains,
for example, the difference between a grasshopper and
a locust, which look like different animals despite
having identical DNA.
Feral pigs are more an example of devolution via
out-breeding. It's like the 'wild' pansies and
snapdragons on my front lawn that come up every
year with smaller and smaller blossums.
