I was wondering how the environment can affect the genotype of a population over certain periods of time. Just like we all know of Lamark's theory of evolution that talks about this condition happening. I am open to any thoughts.

Through mutations and selection.

Epigenetics does not mean that the genotype is changed. It means that there are changes in how the genotype is expressed. This can be acquired during a lifetime, and it turns out, that some of these changes can be given further to the offspring.
