ROCHESTER (US)—Researchers have identified a new mechanism for evolution that bypasses genes altogether. A research team has chronicled a striking example of a bacteria infecting an animal, giving the animal a reproductive advantage, and being passed from mother to children. This symbiotic relationship between host animal and bacteria gives the host animal a readymade defense against a hazard in its environment and thus has spread through the population by natural selection—the way a favorable gene would. Details are reported in the journal Science. Intelligent design.
