有一句话说：“不同寻常的观点需要不同寻常的证据”或“非凡的观点需要非凡的证据”（"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"）。先父遗传（telegony）在人类中是否存在，目前并没有太多的证据。查一下NCBI网站，只有13个查询结果，见：https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=telegony。其中以Henan University of Science and Technology in Xiangxiang, China的Yongsheng Liu的文章最多。

1 Telegony, the sire effect and non-mendelian inheritance mediated by spermatozoa: a historical overview and modern mechanistic speculations.
Liu YS. Reprod Domest Anim. 2011 Apr;46(2):338-43. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0531.2010.01672.x. PMID: 20626678 Review.
Telegony is the belief that the sire first mated to a female will have an influence upon some of that female"s later offspring by another male. ...In this article, alleged cases of telegony are provided. A search of the literature of cell biology and biochemistry re …
2 Superior stimulation of female fecundity by subordinate males provides a mechanism for telegony.
Pascoal S, Jarrett BJM, Evans E, Kilner RM. Evol Lett. 2018 Mar 17;2(2):114-125. doi: 10.1002/evl3.45. eCollection 2018 Apr. PMID: 30283669 Free PMC article.
Fecundity stimulation thus promotes the non-genetic inheritance of offspring body size, and provides a mechanism for telegony....
3 Revisiting telegony: offspring inherit an acquired characteristic of their mother"s previous mate.
Crean AJ, Kopps AM, Bonduriansky R. Ecol Lett. 2014 Dec;17(12):1545-52. doi: 10.1111/ele.12373. Epub 2014 Sep 30. PMID: 25270393 Free PMC article.
Newly discovered non-genetic mechanisms break the link between genes and inheritance, thereby also raising the possibility that previous mating partners could influence traits in offspring sired by subsequent males that mate with the same female ("telegony"). In the fly Te …
4 STATISTICS OF TELEGONY.
Pearson K. Science. 1909 Oct 1;30(770):443-4. doi: 10.1126/science.30.770.443-a. PMID: 17777275 No abstract available.
5 TELEGONY AS INDUCED REVERSION.
Cook OF. Science. 1909 Aug 20;30(764):241-3. doi: 10.1126/science.30.764.241. PMID: 17742473 No abstract available.
6 Fetal genes in mother"s blood: a novel mechanism for telegony?
Liu Y. Gene. 2013 Jul 25;524(2):414-6. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2013.03.061. Epub 2013 Apr 23. PMID: 23618818
Telegony is a discredited genetic phenomenon that a previous male may influence the characteristics of offspring subsequently borne by the same female to another male. Although its reality was acknowledged by such authorities as Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, it has b …
7 Darwin"s Pangenesis and Certain Anomalous Phenomena.
Liu Y. Adv Genet. 2018;102:93-120. doi: 10.1016/bs.adgen.2018.05.009. Epub 2018 Jul 20. PMID: 30122236
Darwin clearly described certain anomalous phenomena, including what he referred to as "the direct action of the male element on the female form" and what we now call xenia and telegony, bud variation (mutation), reversion or atavism, and the inheritance and non-inheritanc …
8 Darwin"s Pangenesis: A Theory of Everything?
Liu Y. Adv Genet. 2018;101:1-30. doi: 10.1016/bs.adgen.2018.05.001. Epub 2018 Jul 17. PMID: 30037390 Review.
By his Pangenesis, Darwin not only explained the general phenomena pertaining to inheritance, variation, development and reproduction, but also the inheritance of acquired characters, prepotency, graft hybridization, reversion, regeneration, xenia, telegony, transposition, …
9 The Criticisms of Pangenesis: The Years of Controversy.
Liu Y. Adv Genet. 2018;101:31-61. doi: 10.1016/bs.adgen.2018.05.002. Epub 2018 Jul 17. PMID: 30037392
Third, Darwin"s Pangenesis explained the Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characters, graft hybridization, xenia and telegony, which were largely thought to be doubtful phenomena. Now the discoveries of circulating cell-free DNA, mobile RNAs, prions and extracellular ves …
10 Darwin"s contributions to genetics.
Liu YS, Zhou XM, Zhi MX, Li XJ, Wang QL. J Appl Genet. 2009;50(3):177-84. doi: 10.1007/BF03195671. PMID: 19638672 Review.
Darwin clearly described almost all genetic phenomena of fundamental importance, such as prepotency (Mendelian inheritance), bud variation (mutation), heterosis, reversion (atavism), graft hybridization (Michurinian inheritance), sex-limited inheritance, the direct action of the …
11 Closing the door on Lord Morton"s mare: the rise and fall of telegony.
Burkhardt RW. Stud Hist Biol. 1979;3:1-21. PMID: 11610983 No abstract available.
12 Double Stranded RNA in Human Seminal Plasma.

13 [Mendelism in animal breeding as developed by professor Leopold Frateur, Louvain (1877-1946)].
Gobin A. Argos. 2000;(23):111-8. PMID: 12051273 Dutch.
In Frateur"s experimental research the following main lines can be distinguished: 1) The analysis of simple and complex hereditary factors in cattle, rabbits and poultry; 2) The study of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of importance for the improvement of animal bree …
