Epigenetics.
Tim Spector: ...Genes are malleable. Epigenetics. <br /><br /> Tim Spector: Identically Different: Why You Can Change Your Genes (book)<br /><br />Professor Tim Spector reveals the astonishing new science that is changing everything we thought we knew about genes and identity. 'Lucid, surprising and with a very human face. It brings epigenetics alive ... a great read!' Michael Mosley<br /><br />Since the discovery of DNA, scientists have believed that genes are fixed entities that cannot be changed by environment - we inherit them, pass them on to our children and take them with us when we die.<br /><br />Professor Tim Spector reveals how the latest genetic research and his own pioneering studies on epigenetics are rewriting everything we thought we knew about genes, identity and evolution. Conceptually, he explains, our genes are not fixed entities but more like plastic, able to change shape and evolve, and these changes can be passed on to future generations.<br /><br />Tim Spector's dazzling guide to the hidden world of our genes reveals the complex role they play in shaping our identities, and will make you think again about everything from sexuality to religion, cancer to autism, politics to pubic hair, clones to bacteria, and what it is that makes us all so unique and quintessentially human.<br />Kaiveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195639305785321786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-67986327981443404122017-05-16T11:02:17.429-04:002017-05-16T11:02:17.429-04:00Genetics ("nature") affects what is inna...Genetics ("nature") affects what is innate as inborn. Experience and behavior ("nurture") affect what is acquired as added to what is inborn. <br /><br />Sometime this is distinguished as constitution versus disposition. Constitution is innate, while disposition is a combination of innate and acquired. Constitution denotes the initial or original state, while disposition denotes state at a particular point in time.<br /><br />Personality tendencies are innate, but personality can also be changed by nurture, albeit within limits. One's constitution is what one inherited while one's disposition is one's present state as a combination of innate and acquired.<br /><br />I am not aware of the latest thinking but it used to be thought that the imprinting of the first three years is almost as hardwired as genetic inheritance. These can be changed through experience and behavior, but not easily. They are not malleable.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-13468416910782875482017-05-16T06:36:44.070-04:002017-05-16T06:36:44.070-04:00He once said that 99% off the personality was inhe...He once said that 99% off the personality was inherited. But in the post I put out thy outer day he said nurture and nature affects political views.
