What is Epigenetics and Why it is a Problem for Evolution?

Epigenetics: from Greek epi-/ἐπι-, meaning = “over, outside of” to genetics. i.e. heritable changes that are above the genes coded in the DNA. That is, genes code for various traits, but epigenetics controls when they are switched on or off, and how intensely.
