These refinements make the theory appear incomplete. As with the theory of evolution, a lot of research work is being put to understand the complex phenomenon of genetic inheritance of traits of behaviour. Unless there are evidences from nature for all the aspects of evolution in theory, it'll remain a theory and not become a law.
