Genetic transference must have a huge role in evolution and the process of adaption. Organisms living in tune with their environment and eating foods that are also in tune with that same environment may be able to harmonize genetically. Eating plants and animals that possess certainty qualities and traits, may be the means by which these traits could be inherited, through some yet to be discovered morphogenetic field transference phenomenon.
When there are shifts in environmental conditions, our ancestors would resort to eating a variety of foods that were outside of what they had been adapted to, which exposed them to mutagenic compounds in the new foodstuffs. In order to survive and quickly adapt they must have undergone mutagenic realignments which would incorporate DNA from other spices into their own genome in order to transfer the traits of survival.
In this new theory the scope of epigenetics is broadened by mutigenetic adaptive evolution.
This trait transference is something that needs to be further studied. It can explain how animals and plants of entire ecosystems can co evolve adaptations to changing environmental conditions. For example Our nomadic ancestors when migrating from the tropics into more temperate regions, become acclimated to the colder temperatures, and a completely different diet rather quickly from an evolutionary perspective. Perhaps by eating plants, animals, and microbes that have already evolved mechanisms by which to tolerate the cold, they were able to inherit cold hardy traits on a genetic level through trait transference. There are chemical substances produced by plants, or other symbiant organisms that are very mutagenic and produce epigenetic alterations in other organisms who are exposed to them.
