Is Inheritance Really All In Our Genes?

The video explores the concept of inheritance, focusing on epigenetics, which involves changes in traits not due to DNA sequence alterations. It discusses how chemical flags on DNA can influence gene expression and how some of these changes can be passed to future generations. Examples in mice and humans illustrate this phenomenon, though the exact mechanisms remain unclear. The video highlights the potential impact of epigenetics on evolution and human health, emphasizing the need for further research in this young field.
