>>11169833Do any of you bother to look into methylation and genetic expression? Setting up an example here, let's say your mother is suffering the effects of violence and hunger from a long war while she's pregnant with you. Her elevated cortisol levels influence your genetic expression in order to prepare you for the harsh environment that's coming your way. You'll experience high levels of impulsivity and aggression to best suit you to compete for limited resources and survive. Now your family has died and you're left behind as an infant. A wealthy family adopts you and brings you into a life of peace and prosperity. However, you don't behave as chill as they do. Actually, they and their society perceive you as a ungrateful little shit savage, acting out for no apparent reason whatsoever.
You've been primed, before birth, to be adapted for success in an environment you are no longer in.
Your mom could've been the nicest, most tranquil person before the war. Or she could've been an absolute warrior cunt. That experience during pregnancy changed you forever.
Let's say your mom is an uppity angry woman after a lifetime of abuse, but just so happens to come across an environment of abundance and no violence. She experiences a comfortable, happy pregnancy. You'll come out super chill, not behaving as 'wild' as she may have. Of course her own inherent aggression may affect you after birth.
