I don’t want to wade into the scientific fight, but I came across the article below and it made me think of the OP’s title
So, if this is accurate, how are the “small RNAs” across generations being transmitted to offspring?
They can move between tissues including from soma to germline, and pass between generations in germline cells.
The headline “Memories can be inherited… our life experiences may be passed on to our children” is fatuous hyperbole. The small RNA field is fascinating, but it’s a wild exaggeration to say that we know that anything other than processes akin to immunological memory can be inherited epigenetically. And my children can already inherit my life experiences without an epigenetic mechanism.
Seminal fluid: Current Biology (cell.com)
I thought this was interesting.
Well, at the very least, it’s an interesting way to start an article:
What is seminal fluid? Whether ejaculated directly into the female reproductive tract, deposited on the ground, or broadcast into the surrounding environment…
But what does it have to do with thread?
It talks a lot about the chemicals and hormones that seminal fluid contains and a vital role it plays in the development of the semen. That chemical cocktail will change and relation to a person’s state of mind and emotional well-being. So now we know that seminal fluid does play a vital role in the development of the sperm and we also know that it is affected by external condition. That’s really all I was trying to establish. Then that was going to lead me into the next step which would be what possible reasons there could be for making a correction at this particular point of development
I think we’ll be ok without all that.
It’s didn’t work out well for the Nazis to try and make a better race.
No, but if a link is shown it might be considered one step in pre-natal care. It might show some link in parents behavior prior to conception affecting the new born.
Oh, just stop.
Yeah . . . so why did you keep saying “spinal fluid”?
Because the spinal fluid is the source of “Whatever?” instead of the blood stream. They are very different. It appears that the chemicals in the spinal fluid are present in the seminal fluid.
Does it say any of that?
I think you need to quote the relevant part of the article before assuming anyone is onboard with that conclusion.
Whatever? You’re going to need to be more specific.
Ok, and?
Two things that have the same chemicals present doesn’t mean anything.
He can start with any part of that article that mentions spinal fluid because my search says “No matches.”
The article establishes that it does make a difference. Finding out what that difference is would be almost impossible. I think the difference would be extremely subtle and possibly only present itself very softly and almost imperceptible into the gene pool.
The post is really just speculation based on what little we already know.
So not worth discussing.
That would be a matter of personal taste. Some people might enjoy talking about different types of tests you could do that would help to identify things like this. I have my own pet theories that I would consider fun to talk about but with all the snark and sarcasm here fun is no longer an option.
Good-bye
No, you have baseless assertions, nothing you’ve presented (in any thread) rises to supported hypothesis let alone scientific theory.
This is an absolutely false statement that has no place in this thread at all.
Posting a cite does not mean posting an article that contains 30% of the words that you used, in a different order.
Everything that you have said in this thread is utter nonsense.
The more I read the more I am convinced it is not non sense, regardless I do give you credit for at least advancing the thread with your posts.
