That is a non-informative statement because any-and-all behaviour involves organisms “doing things” for various reasons.

I thought genetic mutations were normally random in the sense that it is not a behavior of the organism that is causing the change.

Like noise induced copying errors of DNA.

@klw

Are you aware of any other evidence of the rate of beneficial mutations increasing as a result of behaviour?

This question feels like it is moving the goalpost

Yes, I thought so too! That is exactly what conventional Neodarwinian theory is based on, and is what Noble is attempting to dispute with his neo-Lamarckian claims! That is the entire point of contention in this thread, whether Noble has any actual evidence of such. Hence my query to you, since you seem to be very familiar with Noble’s claims. Maybe you know something that I haven’t come across? That’s all I’m asking.
