The Ghost In Your Genes (Documentary)



Biology stands on the brink of a shift in the understanding of inheritance. The discovery of epigenetics
– hidden influences upon the genes – could affect every aspect of our lives.

At the heart of this new field is a simple but contentious idea – that genes have a 'memory'. That the lives
of your grandparents – the air they breathed, the food they ate, even the things they saw – can directly
affect you, decades later, despite your never experiencing these things yourself. And that what you do in
your lifetime could in turn affect your grandchildren.
