It is, however, possible to explain genetic assimilation using only quantitative genetics and a threshold model, with no reference to the concept of ...

    Waddington called the effect he had seen "genetic assimilation". His explanation was that it was caused by a process he called "canalization".He compared embryonic development to a ball rolling down a slope in what he called an epigenetic landscape, where each point on the landscape is a possible state of the organism (involving many variables).
