This podcast explores the scientific study and theoretical barriers of inheritance of memory or acquired traits in mammals and humans, known as the Wiseman barrier, which separates the soma from the germline. It also discusses Weizmann's belief that direct influence of the environment on germ cells could transfer to the next generation despite the theoretical problems.
