i was literally thinking on the same line that ‘Can stress, depression or trauma be hereditary or genetic’ like can it pass on to generations and then you dropped this video 🤯
@@loml_loml we are affectively a biological computer. Our genetic code & DNA hold information from 10 generations at least. It’s possible to alter our own genetic code to then alter our DNA to then produce balanced off spring. Unfortunately ? The planet is fuelled by trauma. Purged daily. To achieve an altered genetics / DNA to counter the hereditary negative traits ? You have to counter the affects with positive traits. Rewiring your brain is where you start.
like, imagine that you were inside your grandma when she was a child. As women are born already with all her eggs, and one of those was to become the fertilized egg that became your mother, and then you came out of one of the eggs that your mother was born with. So whatever your grandma could have suffered (depression, anxiety, drug addiction, malnutrition, etc) ended up a little bit of you. Crazy to thing that generational trauma is really a thing
If this is true, then most baby boomers would be a mess. Our parents lived through and fought in ww2, and our grandfather's fought in the trenches, many of them being shell shocked.
I immediately thought about my intense fear of fire as a child. I still am very cautious of it. I found out as a teen that my late grandfather’s house burned down when he was young. Makes me wonder…
My professor talked about this in class. This is the reason children of alcoholics are more prone to alcoholism. They carry the gene from their parents and if they're reared in an environment with their alcoholic and abusive parents, the gene carrying the alcoholic message is turned on. Partly because they are unable to deal with the negetive emotions of the abuse and want to escape it and alcohol seems to be the preferred substance to use. On the contrary if they carry the same gene but if are reared in a happy and supportive environment it is less likely that the gene will turn on.
Not quite what it's about. The epigenetic event has generational impact. Down the generations, if the epigenetic factor is identified, we might reverse it and get back to the original gene and its expression. Before then, the effects of epigenetic modification of gene expression (positive, negative, or neutral) are felt by the 'innocent' subsequent generations who had no say in how it all began
No weight gain is from excessive eating, but some people have genes that causes them to crave sweets, dairy or salty or sour foods, when they start eating sweets is hard to stop, I have a sweet tooth really bad ,I do eat sweets but I control myself
But the effects are psychological. People who went through a famine will often eat everything on their plate (they really fear wasting food) and require the same from their kids, they also often overfeed their grandkids as a show of love. They tend to find a lot of comfort in food (aka emotional eating). It's an unhealthy relationship with food thing not a physiological thing.
environment or other strong factor can change epigenetics. So epigenetics can't change gene permanently but can change genes expression! And it can be restored!
That also means, as science says, that also trauma therapy may have a positive impact, and of course healthy happy lives. Less need for medicines and more need for a more healthy society. I'd rather pay tax for a better society than enrich big Pharma.
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens to adopted embryos and donated eggs, biologically birthed and raised by non genetic or partially genetic parents.
Dr Bruce Lipton wrote about Epigenetics in 2005 in his book titled Biology of Belief. It’s good to see this is becoming more mainstream but it is not new. It is a very good read and worth the time. My concern was the moment “drugs” were mentioned. I would highly recommend reading Dr Lipton book to learn more about epigenetics, he was considered a heretic geneticist in his day.

Ging back further: Arthur Koestler wrote about Paul Kammerer's studies in 'The Case of the Midwife Toad'. Alan Durrant, at Aberystwyth, was working on what came to be called 'genotrophs' of flax-linseed from the 1950s such that it featured in New Scientist consideration of western eastern European philosophies of science and genetics. I studied the path of nitrogen in genotrophs of flax-linseed in 1977-78 and discovered that Francis Crick had written a large review of the subject in 1977 Annual Review of Plant Physiology. After a life working in community and church development in inner city London, I found my old dissertation in a box recently - could barely understand a word of it but the photos, taken with Kodak Instamatic told the same clear story as they did in summer 1978.
Epigenetics interested me a lot way back under my undergraduate studies. That was 2013. It was starting to roll out and I had so much belief that it holds a lot of answers to our health. Fast forward 2024, now we have the mechanisms of epigenomes and they had replicated studies already. This is a good mark for humanity. From this, I believe, psychotherapy would also work hand in hand with epigenetics.

@@koalaplays8855 i don't know, maybe babies aren't afraid cause their brains aren't developed yet. Human babies are born before they fully develop, unlike most animals. Maybe fears are like our ability to walk, eat and speak. They kick in when babies are fully developed. Maybe fears are just like that. The fact that an infant can't speak, it doesn't mean he/she won't. It just means they're physically not ready for it. Also in the evolutionary path it makes sense for fears to kick in later, what can an infant do even if he/she fears? They can do nothing to protect themselves. So it's logical for fear to kick in when they control their movements and speech. On the other hand animal babies do have fears and know the danger. Difference is that animal babies spend gestation period in their mother's womb or their egg while humans babies spend half in their mother's womb and the other half outside of it. PS. Even psychologists question the assertion that babies aren't afraid of anything.
snakes are awesome I'd love to be wrapped around by one of those big yellow and whiteish snakes. saw one in elementary school when they brought it in, its body was wider than... idek. as wide as a tire pretty much. would be cool ton have it all around me :D
I’ve been saying that I’ve noticed over my life that women who are pregnant and happy have happy babies. Whereas, women who are stressed out or unhappy, have stressed out babies that cry a lot. I noticed this based off my babysitting of people’s kids.
"In a survey conducted in 2020, half of children in Gaza already had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of traumatic events such as witnessing shelling, having their homes destroyed, or being physically injured. Given the shocking death toll and exposure to violence since October 2023, these figures are likely to be far higher now (Ahmed, 2021). UNICEF reports that at least 17,000 children in Gaza are unaccompanied or separated from their parents, and Save The Children report that more than ten children a day had lost a limb over the course of three months."
FYI - Bessel Vander Kolk and Gabor Matte' have spent their careers studying and talking about the body remembering trauma and it being passed on to subsequent generations.
Good segment but a few slight inaccuracies should be cleared up. The gene is not turned off or on… The gene is either read or not read, edited or not edited. The choice of words is very important for a clearer understanding of the processes involved.
I’ve always known this. This is why I get so mad when people say, “you were never a slave! Get over it!” Well, my great grandparents were, and I saw that trauma in my father clear as day (my father was born in 1929 and had me when he was 56). I knew since I was 4 years old when I held a baby for the first time that I would never become a mother. I refused to pass on my crap to an innocent life. Generational trauma has been scientifically proven with mice and I encourage everyone to look that up. I think even PBS did a documentary on it. Absolutely fascinating stuff.
There’s plenty of sources about Epigenetics, they even speak about it in the Bible… Although they didn’t have the word Epigenetics, nor did, they understand the science behind the words… But they certainly were captivating it when they said “sins of the father,” or “sins of the mother” … Passing down their trauma to their family, just like a pandemic, or a world war…. The trauma of that experience is passed down generation, after generation after generation. We, as a people will only continue to get “more crazy.“
Your own personal genetics change over your life… Now they may not be changes that you see, but if you were to Procreate, those changes would then be passed to your children. If you were a man and had a child at 15, and then had another child when you were 80… You’re going to contribute different DNA… similar, but definitely differences.
Just google or use some other search engine to find out more on epigenetics, standard genetics, inheritance by acquired characteristics, etc to learn about the definitions and differences
Happiness for me is the result when the trauma is successfully processed and released. Only after that release, the base state of our psyche is very receptive to happiness triggers.
The Monty Python skit playing in my head: "Can't come in to work. boss. My ancestors were systematically oppressed, won't you believe. Sold into slavery, they were. Traded as living garden gnomes by the aristocracy, bless them. Now I'm on lifetime disability. It's in my genetics, just look'ere, look at those markers. They spell V I C T I M. Can't escape it, 'fraid."
Baby's father can also alter the epigenetic of the mother, the woman who's carrying the baby. Which is why pregnancy shouldn't be forced on anyone who doesn't want to carry the baby
@@FireStick-nu4pn it's not like a woman can prevent a Johnson from going in them. You're with someone you thought you could trust and one second they become someone else completely.
@@FireStick-nu4pn Even if a woman has willingly engaged in intercourse, and decided not to keep the baby, it's her choice, her body isn't public property, a piece of equipment that brings a future taxpayer to this world. No one should force pregnancy on her. Watch out for karma because in your next life you may be a woman who accidentally got pregnant at 18 and doesn't want to keep the baby but is forced by everyone including men who don't have a uterus to keep the baby as though your body is no longer your own and you have no say in how it will be used now that something is growing in you.
This is fascinating! Does that explain the fear of things that one wouldn't normally come into contact with? Why is there such a widespread fear of snakes and spiders in countries that don't have deadly versions of either? And is going on a diet actually bad for long term weight loss, the less you eat the more you keep type of scenario?
Strictly speaking, diet is just the stuff you eat. You might decide to eat nothing but baked beans - that's the diet you have gone on. Or you could eat 8,000 calories a day of processed foods but you burn only 1,500 calories - that's your diet of choice. If you mean 'eat less', then you could eat nothing for a few weeks and see your weight come down in the short term (until you die of starvation) but, of course, when you start eating, especially eating too much of the wrong stuff, the weight comes back.
I've often wondered about these commonly recurring phobias...and it is easy to conclude that in our primitive past we had to give a wide berth to certain insects and snakes as our physiological reaction to their bite/venom ranges from discomfort to death...but what is rather odd should you compile a list of phobias most common to least is fear of balloons or clowns and how common these phobias occur...I am REALLY creeped out by balloons...my reaction to their presence is to literally make my skin crawl, cross my arms across my chest, pull my chin into my chest cross my arms turn my face away...if balloons unexpectedly fall from the ceiling I will freeze..asking others is it a fear of them going bang in your face a majority disagree saying popping them is a way of coping...it's more to do with the shape...hot air balloons illicit the same reaction (but they are in general not nearby and managing your unease is more straightforward)...and clowns?
I feel totally different than i was before my meditation practices. I wouldn't be surprised if my gene expression reflects this new state of being i can access on a more regular basis.
The science says that also trauma therapy may have a positive impact, and of course healthy happy lives. Less need for medicines and more need for a more healthy society. I'd rather pay tax for a better society than enrich big Pharma.
And I'd like a smashing of our carbohydrate blood glucose insulin resistance lifestyles with no steady or high intensity interval training - could more or less empty most hospitals and stop medication for many and pay much less tax due to less money spent on health (delaying or making it easier to endure ill health)
When you short circuit these processes through external chemically induced changes you’re directly interfering in the process itself which time is a necessary component for.
Like everything in life, it depends. For some people, the drugs could interfere with essential processes and be a net negative to their life. For some people, the drugs could short-circuit negative predispositions that might've ruined their lives or even made them a danger to themselves and to others. The bottomline is, how desperate are you for a solution? If you're relatively healthy, you shouldn't try experimental drugs for the kicks. But if you're dying of a fatal disease anyway, you might as well try the new drug on the market. Worst case scenario it'd kill you, but so what? You're already on your deathbed. The same thing can be said for somebody suffering from the aftereffects of generational trauma. If it's ruining their life and making them a danger to themselves and others, then try the epigenetics-modifying drug. If the problem is more minor, then just let nature take its course.
Yes it can. i´am a hypersensetive Person and my mother has PSyhcic PRoblems due to Fears and stuff. I have a inborn fear of almost everything, i´am hypersensetive. I had to understand that this inborn fear is not the fear of survival or the fear of losing my life. it´s the inborn fear of my Mother. And i learned to handle it, learned from it and it took me 15 Years to help my mom. And i did the impossible. Doctors don´t know how i could knew. And my mom does not get fully how i can understand her. But how can i not? Half my my building blocks are hers. I love you Mom.
Of course, BBC takes this research and emphasizes developing a PILL to change epigenetics. However, maintaining healthy lifestyles and avoiding environmental toxins can also positively change epigenetics. And without those healthy changes, a PILL will only do so much. The bottom line is that we best emphasize teaching our children HEALTHY HABITS and RESILIENCE. These aren't learned in a vacuum or safe spaces. They're learned from meeting challenges and stressors head-on and conquering them.
Yes, it can. Look at those people with chronic depression, mental illness, ADHD, Autism to mention a few, the generational passing of traumatic experience is evident. Those without academic qualifications know the facts better.
For years now, after decades of the fulltime pursuit of my own personal experiences of consciousness expansion, Ive "seen" how genetics and karma are linked. All inheritable lineages whether physical or energetc, carry all the traits and experiences of previous generations and their ancestral roots.
It is simple to alter genetic coding . However, “ A Posteriori” knowledge is governed through experience . It is plausible for “ A Priori” knowledge to be passed through the genes because it is innate. It is given to you at birth. The data stored in your cells through empirical facts are at a “ Prima Facie” level. Great Question!
DNA has memory and DNA is quantum so the memory is carried from life to life. That explains children born with amazing abilities. Yes, DNA manifests in our physical bodies where it takes on new experiences and receives additional DNA from our progenitors. We only grow when we are alive but after death reflect and assess while awaiting our next incarnation.
Sounds like a seminar I want to get into. What was the subject? Who led it? I though so many seminars are not held on line with many attendees not showing their faces? So, I guess people actually attending in person would now make for a remarkable seminar. Twin studies are often most interesting to see differences, often a result of gut biome
@cuebj You are a funny character, and very creative as well. When I read comments, I' m utterly amazed at this new language that's developing through creative spelling, writing, and the ways people express their thoughts.

3:57 what a violent experiment to subject innocent mice to...! I realize we don't really have many alternatives... but we could try to be a bit more humane with our methods...!
I stopped studying this sort of thing because I felt too sorry for the animals. So now I think we could live without the results of these experiments, since the experimental animals can’t live with them.
The question is if the environment alters the genome of a person, where exactly does that alteration take place? Because it will not be in every single cell in the persons body and it is only germ line DNA that is passed on to offspring.
missing in your explaination is the logic/evidence of David Nobles..*who challenges the gene centric theory of life/disease)..so your writer is not fully informed.
Wasn't this known for a long time, though? I mean, animals, birds and squirrels for example, naturally avoid humans even as children. know not to eat some things yet naturally know to eat other things, etc. It's definitely a survival thing, this passed down trauma. But it makes you wonder how many deaths occour without spreading the knowledge of that trauma that caused the death.
I myself with my a very healthy lifestyle I think had suppressed the expression of my T2D gene for about 20 years but now I am in the 79s has started taking since 2 years 1 g metformin daily. It may be due to my aging beta cells of the pancreas. But I am quite sure that your lifestyle can switch off and switch on the expression of your genes 🧬
I wonder if just wanting something can have epigenetic effects that can be passed on to the offspring. Apart from things like wanting food, like more indirect wants and wishes. Maybe a will to keep living longer could have an effect, for instance?
That's not unexpected, don't think about humans who can use communication to tell others about a danger. Think about an herbivorous animal facing a certain predator for the first time, it must necessarily have one of more way of recognising that it's a danger. I think it's not an ubiquitous tract, otherwise evolution whould had been much faster. Simpler life forms probably rely more on the survival of the genes that allow a greater survival rate related to the environment. Maybe one is the consequence of the other: 1. Survival of the more adapted 2. Transmission of certain information through the DNA 3. Direct communication between members of the same species At the moment, I think only humans and similar reached point #3 as far as we know. What do you think?
Lots of animals train their young, with birds apes elephants in fact many species that can be highly complex. Even bees train each other on food source and direction
Good practices and repetitive behaviors of goodness and kindness can create positiveness in humans... Well the thing is that we ourselves need to be more conscious of our emotional needs, must know ourselves truly and must develop a character that creates ease for other humans too. Well there are times when we ourselves can be going through difficult times and may not be able to help others at that point but at the least we can be understanding and calming. ❤
Thank you for the super interesting and highly informative video. I was however strongly disturbed by the mention of the cruel testing on mice. Horrible to think that a human being is capable of such violence. However novel the results are, nothing can justify what was done to these animals. I wish for a society in which we deal critically with such research.
I was born in 1994 during the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda! I did not see the genocide personally but have experienced severe mental health struggles including PTSD and beleive some of my illness i inherited!

If you were a man and had a child at 15, and then had another child when you were 80… You’re going to contribute different DNA… similar, but definitely differences.
Or you could find them yourself instead of relying on the media…
@@colonialemonGives a new meaning to born into sin
Just google or use some other search engine to find out more on epigenetics, standard genetics, inheritance by acquired characteristics, etc to learn about the definitions and differences
Thank you. You explained this so well.
Would like a detailed video on this. Bring next part soon. Interesting.
If trauma can be inherited, then so can happiness.
Happiness for me is the result when the trauma is successfully processed and released. Only after that release, the base state of our psyche is very receptive to happiness triggers.
I love that you guys are talking about this topic.
The Monty Python skit playing in my head: "Can't come in to work. boss. My ancestors were systematically oppressed, won't you believe. Sold into slavery, they were. Traded as living garden gnomes by the aristocracy, bless them. Now I'm on lifetime disability. It's in my genetics, just look'ere, look at those markers. They spell V I C T I M. Can't escape it, 'fraid."
Reeeeeee reeeeee reeeeee!!!!!
🤣
Lmao
Absolutely mesmerized by the graphics and the animation work! Those were amazing.
Thanks, this was very helpful.
Baby's father can also alter the epigenetic of the mother, the woman who's carrying the baby. Which is why pregnancy shouldn't be forced on anyone who doesn't want to carry the baby
Woah - Who said anything about force? Just don’t get a johnson in ya. You’ll be just fine. It’s not like babies just randomly appear.
@@FireStick-nu4pn it's not like a woman can prevent a Johnson from going in them. You're with someone you thought you could trust and one second they become someone else completely.
@@FireStick-nu4pn Even if a woman has willingly engaged in intercourse, and decided not to keep the baby, it's her choice, her body isn't public property, a piece of equipment that brings a future taxpayer to this world. No one should force pregnancy on her.
Watch out for karma because in your next life you may be a woman who accidentally got pregnant at 18 and doesn't want to keep the baby but is forced by everyone including men who don't have a uterus to keep the baby as though your body is no longer your own and you have no say in how it will be used now that something is growing in you.
@@FireStick-nu4pn Wow!
You're clueless.
Very easy to understand and very informative! Thank you so much, it was very interesting to see this video
This is fascinating! Does that explain the fear of things that one wouldn't normally come into contact with? Why is there such a widespread fear of snakes and spiders in countries that don't have deadly versions of either?
And is going on a diet actually bad for long term weight loss, the less you eat the more you keep type of scenario?
Strictly speaking, diet is just the stuff you eat. You might decide to eat nothing but baked beans - that's the diet you have gone on. Or you could eat 8,000 calories a day of processed foods but you burn only 1,500 calories - that's your diet of choice. If you mean 'eat less', then you could eat nothing for a few weeks and see your weight come down in the short term (until you die of starvation) but, of course, when you start eating, especially eating too much of the wrong stuff, the weight comes back.
I've often wondered about these commonly recurring phobias...and it is easy to conclude that in our primitive past we had to give a wide berth to certain insects and snakes as our physiological reaction to their bite/venom ranges from discomfort to death...but what is rather odd should you compile a list of phobias most common to least is fear of balloons or clowns and how common these phobias occur...I am REALLY creeped out by balloons...my reaction to their presence is to literally make my skin crawl, cross my arms across my chest, pull my chin into my chest cross my arms turn my face away...if balloons unexpectedly fall from the ceiling I will freeze..asking others is it a fear of them going bang in your face a majority disagree saying popping them is a way of coping...it's more to do with the shape...hot air balloons illicit the same reaction (but they are in general not nearby and managing your unease is more straightforward)...and clowns?
I wonder if trama could probably be passed down resulting in abnormalities like personality disorders, like narcissism or BPD. Interesting...
Please post the sources to the papers that u quote the mouse study from? Thank u 🙏
I feel totally different than i was before my meditation practices. I wouldn't be surprised if my gene expression reflects this new state of being i can access on a more regular basis.
Excellent, scientific news, hats off 👏 BBC world service ❤❤👍👍🌹🌹
I would have appreciated resources mention.I looked for them but didn’t find them.
you are literally on the internet LOL
What stylish videos the BBC makes!
Great choice of backing music.
Gabir Maté - The Myth Of Normal ,
is a great book about passing on traumas.
He is a horrible antisemite. Would never read his books.
The science says that also trauma therapy may have a positive impact, and of course healthy happy lives. Less need for medicines and more need for a more healthy society.
I'd rather pay tax for a better society than enrich big Pharma.
And I'd like a smashing of our carbohydrate blood glucose insulin resistance lifestyles with no steady or high intensity interval training - could more or less empty most hospitals and stop medication for many and pay much less tax due to less money spent on health (delaying or making it easier to endure ill health)
Very informative and interesting as always
Habits definitely play a major role in
When you short circuit these processes through external chemically induced changes you’re directly interfering in the process itself which time is a necessary component for.
Like everything in life, it depends. For some people, the drugs could interfere with essential processes and be a net negative to their life. For some people, the drugs could short-circuit negative predispositions that might've ruined their lives or even made them a danger to themselves and to others. The bottomline is, how desperate are you for a solution? If you're relatively healthy, you shouldn't try experimental drugs for the kicks. But if you're dying of a fatal disease anyway, you might as well try the new drug on the market. Worst case scenario it'd kill you, but so what? You're already on your deathbed. The same thing can be said for somebody suffering from the aftereffects of generational trauma. If it's ruining their life and making them a danger to themselves and others, then try the epigenetics-modifying drug. If the problem is more minor, then just let nature take its course.
Astonishing!! Thank you for this information,
Very interesting 👏👏
Thanks for sharing. Most interesting. 😊.
Yes it can.
i´am a hypersensetive Person and my mother has PSyhcic PRoblems due to Fears and stuff.
I have a inborn fear of almost everything, i´am hypersensetive.
I had to understand that this inborn fear is not the fear of survival or the fear of losing my life.
it´s the inborn fear of my Mother. And i learned to handle it, learned from it and it took me 15 Years to help my mom.
And i did the impossible. Doctors don´t know how i could knew.
And my mom does not get fully how i can understand her.
But how can i not? Half my my building blocks are hers.
I love you Mom.
I feel it is partly influenced by genetics, not entirely, but still is, and gosh generational trauma is such a big challenge to overcome
Outstanding presentation 😊😊😊
Great information
It was really helpful 💯
Of course, BBC takes this research and emphasizes developing a PILL to change epigenetics. However, maintaining healthy lifestyles and avoiding environmental toxins can also positively change epigenetics. And without those healthy changes, a PILL will only do so much.
The bottom line is that we best emphasize teaching our children HEALTHY HABITS and RESILIENCE. These aren't learned in a vacuum or safe spaces. They're learned from meeting challenges and stressors head-on and conquering them.
Yes, it can. Look at those people with chronic depression, mental illness, ADHD, Autism to mention a few, the generational passing of traumatic experience is evident. Those without academic qualifications know the facts better.
For years now, after decades of the fulltime pursuit of my own personal experiences of consciousness expansion, Ive "seen" how genetics and karma are linked. All inheritable lineages whether physical or energetc, carry all the traits and experiences of previous generations and their ancestral roots.
Im gonna say yes before the video starts
Thanks for the explanation
It is simple to alter genetic coding . However, “ A Posteriori” knowledge is governed through experience . It is plausible for “ A Priori” knowledge to be passed through the genes because it is innate. It is given to you at birth. The data stored in your cells through empirical facts are at a “
Prima Facie” level. Great Question!
Mind blowing 😮
Well done!
Thanks bbc world service
This is so interesting
Thank you
DNA has memory and DNA is quantum so the memory is carried from life to life. That explains children born with amazing abilities. Yes, DNA manifests in our physical bodies where it takes on new experiences and receives additional DNA from our progenitors. We only grow when we are alive but after death reflect and assess while awaiting our next incarnation.
Amazing❤❤❤❤❤
Cool research
Twin studies showen that when separated at birth, twins live a remarkable seminar live
Sounds like a seminar I want to get into. What was the subject? Who led it? I though so many seminars are not held on line with many attendees not showing their faces? So, I guess people actually attending in person would now make for a remarkable seminar.
Twin studies are often most interesting to see differences, often a result of gut biome
@cuebj You are a funny character, and very creative as well.
When I read comments, I' m utterly amazed at this new language that's developing through creative spelling, writing, and the ways people express their thoughts.
It's quite remarkable, and puzzling over it leads to an ever expanding complexity of ideas and dimensions of existence.
😂 😅 😊...let it be...❤
3:57 what a violent experiment to subject innocent mice to...! I realize we don't really have many alternatives... but we could try to be a bit more humane with our methods...!
I stopped studying this sort of thing because I felt too sorry for the animals. So now I think we could live without the results of these experiments, since the experimental animals can’t live with them.
Thank you ❤
Science is amazing
I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IT
The question is if the environment alters the genome of a person, where exactly does that alteration take place? Because it will not be in every single cell in the persons body and it is only germ line DNA that is passed on to offspring.
missing in your explaination is the logic/evidence of David Nobles..*who challenges the gene centric theory of life/disease)..so your writer is not fully informed.
Wasn't this known for a long time, though? I mean, animals, birds and squirrels for example, naturally avoid humans even as children. know not to eat some things yet naturally know to eat other things, etc. It's definitely a survival thing, this passed down trauma. But it makes you wonder how many deaths occour without spreading the knowledge of that trauma that caused the death.
yes
Yes
I myself with my a very healthy lifestyle I think had suppressed the expression of my T2D gene for about 20 years but now I am in the 79s has started taking since 2 years 1 g metformin daily. It may be due to my aging beta cells of the pancreas. But I am quite sure that your lifestyle can switch off and switch on the expression of your genes 🧬
Great information ℹ️ℹ️ℹ️😢
amazing
Yes it can
If is data decompression, it might have risk of decompress more data then the cell can hold
Sim, Camila, já o sei há bem mais de uma década...
Having children was my biggest mistake.
It will
I wonder if just wanting something can have epigenetic effects that can be passed on to the offspring. Apart from things like wanting food, like more indirect wants and wishes. Maybe a will to keep living longer could have an effect, for instance?
Suggest the books It didn't start with you by Mark Wolynn and The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton
Yes.
That's not unexpected, don't think about humans who can use communication to tell others about a danger.
Think about an herbivorous animal facing a certain predator for the first time, it must necessarily have one of more way of recognising that it's a danger.
I think it's not an ubiquitous tract, otherwise evolution whould had been much faster.
Simpler life forms probably rely more on the survival of the genes that allow a greater survival rate related to the environment.
Maybe one is the consequence of the other:
1. Survival of the more adapted
2. Transmission of certain information through the DNA
3. Direct communication between members of the same species
At the moment, I think only humans and similar reached point #3 as far as we know.
What do you think?
Lots of animals train their young, with birds apes elephants in fact many species that can be highly complex. Even bees train each other on food source and direction
Good practices and repetitive behaviors of goodness and kindness can create positiveness in humans... Well the thing is that we ourselves need to be more conscious of our emotional needs, must know ourselves truly and must develop a character that creates ease for other humans too.
Well there are times when we ourselves can be going through difficult times and may not be able to help others at that point but at the least we can be understanding and calming. ❤
That’s me screwed then! My Dad was evacuated and started smoking during ww2 at 9 years old !
Of course.
Thank you for the super interesting and highly informative video. I was however strongly disturbed by the mention of the cruel testing on mice. Horrible to think that a human being is capable of such violence. However novel the results are, nothing can justify what was done to these animals. I wish for a society in which we deal critically with such research.
Nothing is impossible but it is a matter of concern
I think so
I was born in 1994 during the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda! I did not see the genocide personally but have experienced severe mental health struggles including PTSD and beleive some of my illness i inherited!
It’s going to be interesting to see what happens to adopted embryos and donated eggs, biologically birthed and raised by non genetic or partially genetic parents.
Everything is vibration, cymatics. I'm guessing any vibration can transmit or transform another vibration if its higher frequency. Just a guess.
Epigenome. It answered many questions that can't be answered through common logic.
