Darwin did say traits can be passed onto a following generation by the actions of parents. i know he said this about women potentialy raising the intelligence of their daughters by simply being more smart in their later ages.

Just read the 'Descent of man". Its a good laugh. I don't agree with Mr Hunter that acquired traits are passed on.As a biblical creationist I rather see inate abilities of creatures to change especially after the biblical flood. After that men still lived hundreds of years with their bodies able to do this and no sign of it today. Mechanisms for diversity have simply not been figured out. there was diversity explosions but not from evolution by selection/mutation. Genesis makes boundaries that force conclusions of innate body abilities or abilities once held.Robert Byers
