The traditional evolutionary view predicts mutations in eye development genes as being responsible for the removal of eyes in blind cavefish—as if the loss of genetic information is somehow evidence of forward evolutionary progress. Now even this idea has floundered in light of a new study showing that eye loss in cavefish is mediated by a sophisticated adaptive mechanism involving epigenetics.
