I don’t believe its anything to do with a gene change, but I do believe it would impact family decisions and cautious lifestyles for generations.
Stressful events and trauma do change genes. At least per my endocrinologist.
Exactly. Being brought up by parents more subject to stress results in more stress disorders for the children.
I am Jewish and lost many distant relatives in the Holocaust. My wife's uncle (by marriage) was a survivor. All of his kids have, uh, issues - mainly they are very controlling. Probably this is because their father was, and this is a natural reaction to having had NO control over one's life. These effects will last for generations, and will be seen or assumed to be genetic, but are actually behavior in nature.
I agree. This would open up a slew of support for reparations etc., regarding slavery, american indians, etc.
And if it is true, then what? The children of genocide victims in Africa, of the children of Christians in the ME, of North Korean children...if it is true, it is what it is and life goes on.
We are not slaves to our genes

They found epigenetic tag correlation that differed between the two populations.
That is what I was thinking.
I was raised in a high-stress environment. It made me a stressed out mom. Sadly, I did pass this on to my kids with ‘high intensity’ parenting. Way too much fear.
Wish I could take it back.
Thankfully, my daughter is doing better.
