"New research from Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta, has shown that it is possible for some information to be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA. During the tests they learned that that mice can pass on learned information about traumatic or stressful experiences – in this case a fear of the smell of cherry blossom – to subsequent generations"

Might explain my irrational fear of being shoved into a gas chamber by SS officers.
Also my fear of having my scalp ripped off in my sleep by a guy wearing raccoon bones.

This has been the subject of many an epigenetic study, also in my domain.
Not only fear, also weight issues and the likes. Many an insight to be found here, thank you Darkness! :righton: xx Morgaine |

So what you telling us Darkness, is if we all go out and traumatise as many people as possible by beating them with old smelling weapons (a little essence of antiquity), then within one generation we could built a race of people who would naturally become afraid upon smelling our aged props...cool! :p

A lot of things are genetic. A recent study had support that if you never had any children your children wouldn't either.

Evolution has designed many environmental challenge responses into animals, plants etc., to help protect them. Why not fear, it's an important survival mechanism for all species. Animals are aware of their natural predators, even if they have never seen them before. I'm sure it's connected.

For those interested in this subject, you may want to read, "Biology of Belief" by biologist Bruce Lipton.

I think I have listened to an audiobook version of this. Is this the guy who was a pioneer in genetics and is now bucking the conventional wisdom by looking at the way believe alters gene expression? Epigenetics?

When I was growing up I had an uncle named Gene. He was very scary. I was afraid of him.

I know when I get really scared, like when a cadaver wakes up in the middle of an embalming, fear fills up my jeans. Guess you could say I get scared gene-less.
