psykroll rated 8 weeks ago- People often say that a son or daughter has their mom's or dad's personality, even when separated, but this was not thought to be scientifically possible. This study shows that your parents' stress factor actually has been inherited by you, which can cause similarities in personality. On top of all this, toxins in our environment will effect generations. It makes sense from an evolutionist's point of view, but it is a shame. However, I see great potential for motivation here. If the bad can be passed on, so can the good. Treat yourself well, including stress management. Also remember that hurting one person hurts generations. How's that for responsibility?

- As a fellow human, you really should watch this documentary. It talks about how what your ancestors went through (trauma, famine, even the food they ate) determine switches being thrown in your genes. For instance, famine of a grandparent may result in diabetes in the grandchild. Amazing discoveries.

- An interesting documentary exploring the possibilities of genetic information being passed on in ways unknown before. Your mother's experiences could explain the diseases you and your children will have. Genes are complicated, and not everything we know about them has been proven to be correct. How this theory will last over time is unknown, but it's nice to hear new and interesting arguments.

- Pretty nice summary of epigenetic inheritance. It captures some of the excitement and collaboration between scientists and some of the feeling of holding a very unorthodox thought that becomes more and more believable by mainstream science. The diet of a grandfather can affect lifespan of grandchild....

- This describes a paradigm shift in genetics. One needed too, because frankly it makes more sense with this information.

- This is not at all surprising.
And in fact I've thought for years, since grade school in fact, that there had to be something else, something that changed a gene strand during your life other than radiation or toxins. (Thank you mutant turtles and the incredible hulk.)
Two things clued me in.
1. Why bother generating sperm constantly? Could it be to implement periodic updates?
2. How could what amounts to a tan (or lack of) turn into a whole different ethnic type so quickly?
Natural selection and random mutation did not play out given human gestation periods, and requirements for initial sample size for healthy gene pools. It seemed very clear that the genes were being edited by the environment, they had to be.
Therefore there Must have been some dynamic force other than death and reproduction at work on heredity.
Like hardware and software I thought. Genes being the hardware, and something else being the software. I was also very resistant to the idea of past lives, yet there is disturbing verifiable data showing that at least some people from the present had access to detailed memories of people from the past. Time travel? The soul? Or biology, I thought. If a bee can know how to tend a pupae from birth without instruction, then any kind of data may be stored on a cellular level. Plants functioned without brain tissue even, and they have behaviors. So why not genetic memory?
But yea I'm not a lab coat, so when I asked these questions I was given stock answers and told flatly that if I were more educated I'd agree with the book.
To all the others out there with a knack for independent invention, you have my condolences. The frustration and betrayal I feel is no doubt a central cause of my hatred of ranking, credit, and intellectual property law. Then there's Tesla. :) - This is not at all surprising.
