在这本杂志最近的一篇文章中，亚历山大瓦格斯提出了一个新的，表观遗传的解释保罗Kammerer的有争议的助产士蟾蜍实验，但他已经建立了他的模型，而没有第一次阅读Kammerer的原始文章。看看这些文章就可以看出，巴尔加斯对卡默勒的所作所为以及结果都有严重的误解。他的模型根本无法解释最初报告的结果，而且也不容易纠正。同样，巴尔加斯对卡默勒事件的历史推论，卡默勒对发现起源父母效应的优先权，以及遗传学家对这一所谓发现的负面反应，都是不支持的，也经不起推敲。J. Exp. Zool.（Mol. Dev. Evol）3148：616-624，2010。(C)2010 Wiley-Liss，Inc.
In a recent article in this journal, Alexander Vargas presents a new, epigenetic explanation of Paul Kammerer's controversial midwife toad experiments, but he has constructed his model without first reading Kammerer's original articles. A look at the articles shows that Vargas is seriously misinformed about what Kammerer did and what the results even were. His model simply cannot explain the results as they were originally reported and it cannot easily be corrected. Similarly, Vargas historical inferences about the Kammerer affair, Kammerer's priority for the discovery of parent-of-origin effects, and the negative reactions of geneticists to this purported discovery, are unsupported and do not stand up to scrutiny.
