The Benefits and Challenges of Epigenetic Inheritance
1:35:34 - 1:44:22 (08:47)
The speaker discusses the benefits and challenges of epigenetic inheritance, which can pass traits down for multiple generations, allowing species to adapt to changing environments. However, predicting the future impact of this type of inheritance is difficult, as the world is ever-changing.

The speaker discusses the adaptive traits passed on for a few generations through genes that function as a clock and how they are regulated to prevent lasting forever.

Researchers have found that if worms are subjected to starvation, the next generations inherit a higher level of resistance to harsher forms of it, and it's hard to determine which ones would be hurt the most without performing lab evolution experiments.

Summary
The field of epigenetic inheritance is well-established in plants and there are numerous examples of traits being passed down through generations. Critics may argue against the possibility of it happening in humans, but the short generation time of certain organisms supports this theory.
