oof

I think you just revealed your lack of basic scientific knowledge

If you think about it on an evolutionary scale, how could our genome come from amoebas

Even the air we breathe impacts our genes

Everything we consume, from sun to air to food, literally everything that goes into our body impacts our genes

The only viable theory is that your genetics can be impacted during your lifetime

During and after

Your offspring will be affected

There's literally not enough time in the universe for the alternative

But random mutations and random recombination of chromosomes from each parent... they cannot be driven to benefit high IQ because "better nutrition". It's random.

You need culling of the weak for evolution to be beneficial.

Our epigenetics, yes, but I don't think that everyone having more food increases the likelihood of genes for intelligence being selected or mutating

And wealth as got rid of all culling.

@whiic explain fetal alcohol syndrome

@ETBrooD Isn't that a **DEVELOPMENTAL** disorder?

Because of?

Meaning, it doesn't go back to history and re-do the time of fertilization.

It only changes development of the fetus, but not the genes.

Damaged gene pool due to bad nutrition

Alcohol damages cells, including neurons. It doesn't change the genes

It does change the cells, yes it does

Alcoholism is heritable

"Damaged gene pool due to bad nutrition" how is that same as fetal alcohol disorder?

Same exact cause

No it's not.

Yes it is

If you only eat ice cream during your lifetime

Inheritable genetic defects and developmental issues are different.

And you then have kids

Your kids are more likely to develop illnesses

Alcoholism is inheritable in two ways
1: you witness your parents drinking, which encourages you to (not genetic)
2: Your mother drinked in the whom, which essentially means you've already drank alcohol (again, not genetic)

There could also be some genes that make one more prone to addiction in general as a reason 3.

true

But that doesn't change whether mother drinks during pregnancy or not.

That gene would be inherited anyway, even if mother was sober but had it.

Provided the gene was not passed on due to recombination of chromosomes and the dad didn't have it.

Anyway, ETBrooD really doesn't understand differences between genotype and phenotype...

That paper just refuted you

Keep sperging
