I thought this was interesting in light of the now very long-running situation of Democrats terrorizing the general public, especially children in Democrat indoctrination camps a.k.a. "public schools", with scare campaigns like "you only have 10 years left before climate change kills you and the planet turns into Venus", "we are ruled by a cabal of Russian agents who stole our democracy", "Trump is a fascist dictator who's sending your friends to concentration camps", "because you have white skin you are a racist and also inferior and you have to keep apologizing forever", "we'll all die from coronavirus unless you never go outside again", burning down cities and normalizing widespread violent crime against individuals, and so on.

While the article refers particularly to major stress (being orphaned), chronic low-level stress adds up and Democrats could very well be creating a long-term public health issue. Of course, that's just how they want people - weakened from chronic sickness and dependent on the state.

My parents both had days when they had nothing to eat as children during the Great Depression. They never forgot it and saturated their children with it. When I was a kid I fully expected to starve to death some day. Still do.

My mom told me I’d go blind from...

ah forget it.

But it may explain a lot of my later issues :)

I can still see though.

If trauma is passed on through generations then trauma is universal.

[ladyjane]

this is the first time that a connection between early trauma and metabolic disorders in descendants is characterized,”

I do not think that is true. Studies before WW2 were showing that starvation of a mother affected subsequent metabolism of descendants. During WW2 Belgian famine, reduced caloric intake of the mother affected the body weight of the child into adulthood. It's interesting, if the starvation occurred during the first trimester or the third, the offspring ended up overweight or thin. The difference was about 20 pounds. There are many more studies.

I was traumatically mis-gendered as a child./s

I was critically injured in a car accident at age 3. I’m now 74. I’m ok. My kids are ok. My grandkids are ok. The hypothesis fails.

If our physical and mental conditions are in any way dictated by the trauma suffered by our ancestors, then...

Why haven’t we all regressed to being ape-like and incapable of surviving and incapable of handling ourselves?

Apparently, the modern world is a myth and there have been no technological advances in any field. Or, it must be extraterrestrial aliens that did it all.

Reminds me of Exodus 34:7

... visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

So when a liberal threatened me and I told him I’d punch him so hard his grandchildren will feel it...i guess I was telling the truth. :)
