Bianca Jones Marlin, a neuroscientist and epigeneticist at Columbia University, dives into the fascinating realm of epigenetics, exploring how the traumas and experiences of ancestors can influence future generations. The discussion includes insights on the impact of man-made famines, like the Dutch Hunger Winter, on health outcomes across generations. Marlin explains how trauma can alter genetic expression and discusses experimental findings from mouse studies, shedding light on the hereditary nature of stress responses and behavioral traits.
