you know, little modifications to the genome that happen by things actually, molecules actually attaching to the genome and changing how genes express, that can be passed down.

So this is really interesting from the perspective of things like trauma.

You know, we know that, you know, refugee populations actually have some of these changes that they've inherited from their parents, even if they weren't, you know, victims of the event that caused them to be refugees.

Yeah, it's a very good question. You know, in the case of trauma and refugees, I'm not sure. I do know in terms of starvation, that's been something that's been studied as well. So there was a famine that affected Dutch people several hundred years ago, I think. And that was actually also kind of recorded in these epigenetic changes.

And so presumably that's a change that is helping that population to better survive. So in that way, it's resilient. But then, you know, you think about in a contemporary situation where, you know, food is abundant, maybe that is no longer beneficial, even though at one point it was.
