I'm about 15 years late but I only found out earlier this year that learned behaviors can be inherited genetically. Individuals' experiences cause epigenetic changes that get passed on to their offspring. I thought the idea of ANCESTOR MEMORIES was kinda kooky before, but it's literally been proven that (physiological impacts of) our experiences get encoded onto our genome.

I always found it difficult to wrap my head around how animals could develop hyperspecific behaviors relatively quickly just through random mutations and selection. Not denying that evolution through selection is real and explains changes in species over long time periods, but my intuition is that the epigenetic inheritance piece of the puzzle blows up our previous understanding of how we evolve behaviorally. I think it'll prove to be more of a thing the more complex a species' behavior is.

Discuss.

Why do you say that, and do you have an alternative mechanism by which mice and insects may pass on learned aversions through multiple generations? e.g. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3923835

that's the 1 study that everyone cites and it's not clear at all what the actual mechanism is and nobody has replicated it afaik

i mean it's just bullshit on its face. it's shitlib wishcasting because they don't want darwinian evolution to be real, for all the shitlib reasons

you can spend like 15 minutes with an LLM and even the turbo shitlib LLMs will admit that epigenetics is BS. of course they will fall back on mealy-mouthed "erm well ackshually it's true that environment can change an individual's genetic expression," but that's not what anyone means when they talk about "epigenetics." what they're talking about is inheritance by the next generation(s)

it's a dishonest conflation by libs. many such cases

The gene expression of parents effects gene expression of children. There's no change in the DNA. This seems easy to understand

that's already what they've been trying to do with it for forever. holocaust, anti-semitism, racism, etc

that's why you gotta take a hard line on this stuff and give it no quarter. it's not real, period, and everyone who pushes it is a dishonest shitlib and should be called out

Epigenetic inheritance is almost entirely flame, based off of shitty animal models (that don't even replicate), and is basically just shitlibs trying to revive Lysenkoism to back their shitlib politics.

Asian people, what is it like to have "ancestor memories"?

Asian people evolved for tens of thousands of years on the steppes of Central Asia before being chased out into modern-day China and Japan due to decreasing rains.

As a result, they maintain an atavistic Lamarckian node of memory that both animates their dreams and haunts their nightmares.

Asians, what is it like to dream of open steppes that you have never visited before, but can see just as clearly as though they surrounded you?

What is it like to dream of "The Great Thirst" that drove your people across the mountain ranges of western China? Or when you dream of empty streams and dying horses?

There are many accounts of far-flung Asians (like Japanese-Brazilians) visiting the steppes of Kazakhstan for the first time, and collapsing to their knees with overflowing tears, as though they have returned to a homeland of their dreams.

Asians, what is it like to bear along these ancestor memories of grasslands and endless steppes that constantly intrude into your mindspace?

The celebrated poet Wu-Ping Liu (considered one of the "Five Great Masters of Fujian" and also the most lyrical among them) wrote in "The Book of Nine Waters" that "My day is the day of ceaseless rivers and reeds, and the turtle in the sedge. My night is the night of riverbeds and lone ducks dying on dry flats of mud."

Western scholars tried to interpret this as a veiled political argument, but new research indicates that he was speaking of ancestor memory and pan-Asian drought dreams.

one of the interesting behaviors among asians is something called "seeking the plain," which has been noted by sociologists for decades.

if you have a housing development of asians in a forested area, but there is a large treeless hilltop or plain nearby, the asians will migrate out of the trees, to the plain, and will even set up restaurants and shops and tents there.

when asked why they are "seeking the plain," they simply do not know - just that it "feels right."

I think basically everything that could possibly function like epigenetic inheritance gets steamrolled by the fetal environment, which becomes the de facto sole non-genetic factor in development.
