Episode notes

If humans were rats we're not then that would suggest that you know sight it's not just cycles of deprivation but that it's kind of a linear thing and if you have a deprived family then that will kind of echo down the generations now in humans. That transmission of those tags does not happen we know this it i mean it literally does not happen when the egg and the sperm fuse then all of the dna is reset to zero in your mother's cell that cell was determined before she was born. It doesn't work in some systems it does like c elegans and people use it in all sorts of funky interest in and it's quite coolbut yeah life is infinitely varied further

Shermer and Cobb discuss: objections to genetic engineering (political, religious, cultural) • selective breeding • recombinant DNA • the ethics of genetics • patenting life • gene therapy • gene editing • CRISPR • literature and films on the dangers of genetic engineering • bioweapons • 3 Laws of Behavior Genetics and what people fear about it.
