Talk:Degeneration
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Lamarck
I would like to note the new research in Genetics, epigenetics. Perhaps it is not widely recognized yet, but it appears that the behaviour of people can have genetical consequences for the children and for a few generations. It appears that genes can be set on or off, and this setting can be inherited. This is not knowledge that can be used in favour of advocates of the degeneration theory. On the contrary, the genes basically hardly change, it is only the working of the genes. It means that the bashing of individuals with undesired behaviour can be stopped and that attempts should be made to cure behaviour in order to let future generations have a better life. Of course this has to be researched first.--Daanschr 17:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
