>>13143061I just googled epigenetic and I can already tell you its wrong. Phenotypic changes are also changes to DNA. Its the actual mechanism of evolution. Survival of the fittest is great but doesn't work as fast as genetic memory your child literally uses.
Trauma is stored in DNA. Kill a rabbits mom with a coyote, that rabbits children who have never seen a coyote will FLIP THERE FUCKING SHIT AT THE SCENT OF A COYOTE. More than other rabbits/predators.
Genetic memory in trauma is real, so of course something more physical like an Olympic athlete having a fitter stronger child is real. Problem is they literally don't understand that genes adapt to behaviours, we influence our genome as it influences us, its a back and forth thing.
holy shit you guys I literally just figured out the main mechanic of evolution. Fuck reproduction with variability and survival of the fittest, genetic memory and genes literally encoding our behaviour and traits being passed onto children is a way quicker mechanism. We are evolving as we live. I just figured this out now any evolutionary biologists run with this as your thesis just credit me my name is Thomas and I live in Sydney Australia.
