    A raíz de los recientes descubrimientos en disciplinas emergentes como la epigenética o la eco-devo, el concepto genocentrista de herencia propio de la Síntesis Moderna ha sido sometido a un intenso análisis y revisión. El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar las inconsistencias conceptuales y prácticas derivadas del concepto clásico de herencia, así como proponer un concepto pluralista e inclusivo. Para ello, se tomará como fenómeno de referencia la herencia epigenética. De estos análisis se concluirá que solo abrazando dicho concepto es posible superar las limitaciones prácticas y conceptuales del modelo de herencia propio de la Síntesis Moderna.

    Following recent discoveries in emerging disciplines such as epigenetics or eco-devo, the genocentric concept of inheritance proposed by Modern Synthesis has been subjected to intense analysis and revision. The paper aims to analyze the conceptual and practical inconsistencies derived from the classical concept of inheritance, as well as to propose a more pluralistic concept. To this purpose, epigenetic inheritance will be taken as a reference phenomenon. From these analyses it will be concluded that only by embracing a pluralistic concept of inheritance is it possible to overcome the practical and conceptual limitations of the inheritance model presented by Modern Synthesis.
