For decades the scientific community shuned and eschewed it. Saying it was innacurate, not real, etc.

Because it had the potential to rock evoloutionary theory to it's core.

lol

keep in mind I am not 100% sober here.

Theories aren't immediately accepted, moron.

It takes time for evidence to build up.

When I was in school and they taught evoloutionary theory it was very specifically taught that epigenetics was untrue.

Like specifically

from elementary to college.

Did they use the word "epigenetics"?

traits earned through a lifetime are not passed on genetically to any progeny.

That is true.

That's what epigenetics is.

No, it isn't.

What is it then?

The epigenome is the epigenome, not the genome itself.

Nick Abbitt wants to talk to ralphretort

the guy who stream sniped ice

It is chemical modifications to histones and DNA.

So my utter layman understanding of epigenitics is as follows:

Also, epigenetics is not necessarily traits earned in a lifetime being passed to progeny.

If I spend every day of my life working out my right arm, and only my right arm. Then, while not a guarantee there would be an increase chance of my kinds having a right arm beefier than their left one. Or it would beef up easier if they worked out themselves.

not that they would be more muscular because i exercised.

For example, starvation can induce thinner heads in offspring, but that's not passing down being skinny, that's inducing a completely separate trait.

but if I worked out a lot, even if nobody before in my genetic life. My kids would have a greater predispostion for hashtag gains

Is there a citation for that?

No I said that was my extreme layman's understanding based on light independent study.

lol

If you wanted more muscular kids one way of doing it would be myostatin attenuation.

that sounds like something Alex jones sells.

I very much doubt that he does.

That was supposed to be a joke.

Did you know he was a body builder back in the day?

I did not.

I love all the hilarious and wacky shit he says.

You can kinda see it when it takes his shirt off (which is pretty frequently) he's got that gone to seed look

are those real

Imagine creating a product that genuinely reverses ageing and using Alex Jones to market it.

What is should really do is be a consultant to celebrities.

I know right? zero credibility
