Does this mean that what I had for breakfast today will determine my children's destiny? I'm not sure, but I do know that epigenetic inheritance is equal parts controversial and interesting. Sure, it's got more questions than answers, but that just means we have a lot more to learn about it. Get to it, scientists of tomorrow!

That part where they say we were once inside our maternal grandmas. Really shows how how we treat people might have consequences, not only now but in generations in the future... even amongst kids we might never get a chance to meet. So interesting.
@Angelwitch99
For 20 years I didn't know my birth father who left before I was born. Last year I finally found him and we were both surprised to find that we were similar in beliefs, personalities, even likes and dislikes even though my mother differed from us in many of these and hadn't told me much about him growing up
@manishbharambe7864
I am studying engineering but i love biology too....and you make it even more interesting
@nonenone4204
I absolutely love this channel! You guys always give us something to think about critically. Thank you!

Humans: "we'll figure out nature!" Nature: "lol, nope."

Now this is some fascinating information. I am studying biology and this sort of thing is amazing. So complex, yet so articulate and beautiful.
@seeker3894
We had this topic in our biology class recently...really interesting and it brings up some ethical questions.
@westafricangooner9819
I read about this somewhere else too. The evidence for epigenetics is strong. And it's scary. Staying healthy for men during conception has never been thought of as a problem but it could be that a man or woman smoking during conception could be as harmful as women smoking during pregnancy. Imagine that

Speaking of which, we did a test on this LITERALLY today! Great timing.
@vemonds
I see you have a reference to Jablonka's work. It's well worth reading her book 'Evolution in Four Dimensions', which explores the interesting interactions and interrelations between genetic, epigenetic, behavioral and symbolic inheritance systems.
@AshKookie
Can you do another video on this? Would love to see an update if there is any new information.
@noahway13
How do they breed dogs that love to fetch a ball? Retrievers ? DNA can alter not just looks and health, but behaviors...? I think this is how migration and other animal behaviors are passed on.
@MoisesPadilla
Awesome video as ever, Dr. Hanson.

My mom burnt almons her entire body with hot water when she was little. All that's left are some scars on her right arm. Later I was born with the exact same scars, but instead of those scars i have red birthmarks.
@ratatouille1682
I suppose this means that there are always new things that our science know little or nothing about.
@Silmerano
My dad got into a car accident before I was born that dented his skull. I was born with the exact same dent in the exact same spot. I always wondered if it was somehow passed on to me genetically.
