Interesting Info on Trauma & DNA.

This is an interesting study that links the traumatic stresses of parents can leave an imprint on their unborn/future children. For me, while VERY interesting, it is not surprising, because I have suspected something similar for a long time. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/aug/21/study-of-holocaust-survivors-finds-trauma-passed-on-to-childrens-genes First, our biology has not caught up to our technology. Our biological systems, as amazing as we are, are still sitting back there behind the agricultural revolution. Until then, many peoples of the planet were nomads, people practicing the migration following herds of animals with their hunter/gatherer knowledge to get their food sources. Even though quite a few peoples have had farms, mostly subsistence farming, to take care of their own family by having enough food for themselves off of their own land, and the rest would go to the country store to sell or trade for fabric or flour and the other things that don't grow or can be made on your farm.

Second, if we look at a little anthropology, the study of humanity, especially in biological and physical anthropology, we see some similarities and differences between Homo Sapien-Neanderthals and Homo Sapien-Sapiens. You see where in modern humans, we have a bigger capacity in front, where our logical - thinking parts of our brains are. With the neanderthals, it is the cerebellum, is larger. For us, this is our "little brain", but, studying our previous ancestors, this is the main part, where they store "memories" and instincts make up this part. As we come forth, sure, we are adapting to so many things, still, we don't necessarily outgrow the need for certain brain parts.

Anyway... with our biology telling us to eat during fall, for the winter famine, it goes to show that our old farming practices as well as hunter/gatherer ancestors' gave us this natural trend, but the modern farming, storage, and transportation all lead to the fact that we don't have a famine to worry about, and then the modern technology such as microwaves and prepackaged meals aid in our weight gain, as well as the fact that old fashioned farming was a lot more physically demanding than many other jobs we have today. The way we used to eat is still programmed into our system, yet, our way of life looks so different, we need to catch up... In the mean time, hey. Learn how to make real food like our old time farmers did, and dump the hormonal livestock, modified produce, and what ever other junk that gets put into our stuff that has nothing to do with food.
