Do you think trauma or other experiences can be passed down through DNA from generation to generation?
Can we really carry fears that were never ours?
The inheritance of trauma through DNA is a topic that teeters between science and something much deeper. Epigenetics opens the door to hypotheses suggesting that our ancestors’ experiences can literally “reprogram” our genes. But where does biology end and upbringing begin? Are we born already carrying someone else’s emotional baggage, or is this just a narrative shaped by our family environment? And if ancestral memories really are encoded in us – the question is, why? See what others think – and decide for yourself who your fears truly belong to.
