Fear can be inherited through sperm Offspring's genes carry marks that change gene's behaviour
Lab mice trained to fear a particular smell can transfer the impulse to their unborn sons and grandsons through a mechanism in their sperm, a study reveals.
The research claims to provide evidence for the concept of animals "inheriting" a memory of their ancestors' traumas, and responding as if they had lived the events themselves.
It is the latest find in the study of epigenetics, in which environmental factors are said to cause genes to start behaving differently without any change to their underlying DNA encoding.
"Knowing how ancestral experiences influence descendant generations will allow us to understand more about the development of neuropsychiatric disorders that have a transgenerational basis," says study co-author Brian Dias of the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia.
And yet, scientists are finding the switches to turn off for 800+ year lifespans, super-immune systems, naturally big muscles, bigger height, bigger brains(intelligence), etc

Not forgetting the possibility of shorter lives, weaker immune systems, smaller brains etc. If it can be tweaked one way, why not the other.
Just who IS in charge of the next 50 years.
Feedback from the external environment on a genetic level has always seemed likely to me. It would be an obvious survival strategy for life. That is...to pass on a strongly conditioned emotional response.
I wouldn't bother with all that Adam and Eve nonsense though.

Sorry to say but as soon as Adam and Eve, then original sin were introduced into this theory, it's credulity went out the window in my opinion.edit on 4-1-2014 by pryed -eyed-one because: (no reason given)
The Book of Genesis puts Adam and Eve together in the Garden of Eden, but geneticists’ version of the duo — the ancestors to whom the Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA of today’s humans can be traced — were thought to have lived tens of thousands of years apart. Now, two major studies of modern humans’ Y chromosomes suggest that ‘Y-chromosome Adam’ and ‘mitochondrial Eve’ may have lived around the same time after all
4. Any inherited programming via an original creator/programmer or who knows what
Do you mean self training / learning from a previous lifetime or what a MK Ultra 'handler' forces into a person when they split the person's soul into multiple 'alters' ? Its just that MK Ultra 'handlers' also go by the name 'programmers' as they program their victim to do unimaginable things to other people.
Also faith in Jesus Christ erases and destroys all sinful programs once the person repents. This agrees with point 1 where the sin part of a persons DNA is destroyed whilst the faith is maintained.

The implication of being in the grip of the tyranny of theories.
The implications of believing what you are told= of being conditioned by news?
You think that memories of fearful experiences are in your fathers sperm(or that its in your dna) because a scientist in the "matrix" told you it was so.
The matrix has you.

Quite paradoxical, because what you say also sounds like another theory
The implications of believing what you are told= of being conditioned by news?
You know, not all science news is conditioning. A tree having green leaves and wind blowing at 25 mph, is something I can go and test for myself. This news article simply solidifies something I've had a hunch about for well over a decade. I wonder if you inherited your super skepticism about all things via your mother or father.
You think that memories of fearful experiences are in your fathers sperm(or that its in your dna) because a scientist in the "matrix" told you it was so.
Not because they told me so, but because I've always felt it IS this way deep in the gut and intuitive senses. This article is just a redemption. But hey, if you think it's all lies, then so is everything you "think."
The matrix has you.
If it does have me, then it has you equally as much no matter how many theories and ideas you hold. In my case, there is a direct knowing and seeing that "I" am not the thinker of thoughts or any illusions that arise in Awareness
