How we change inherited traits. Are our abilities innate or learned? This debate can now be answered scientifically: both are true! This is what the relatively young field of epigenetics reveals. It explores the links between genetic inheritance (evolution) and individual shaping. Why do identical twins become more different over time? Why do traumatic experiences persist across generations? While our genetic structure (DNA) determines our possibilities, the epigenetic switches activated in our lives decide what becomes reality. Epigenetics examines how these processes work and how we can influence them to prevent or heal diseases. This fascinating, cutting-edge science is explained in an accessible way in this informative comic.
