Beyond Genetics
Description
Nature or Nurture?" is a long-running debate in the social sciences, one heavily-influenced in the popular imagination by the idea "DNA is destiny" - the belief human behavior is broadly determined by a "good" or a "bad" roll of the genetic dice. While human genetics is an important part of our story, recent developments in the field of epigenetics suggest that the way our genes actually work can be critically shaped by the environment in which we live. This film, featuring contributions from Dr. Nessa Carey and Dr. Guy Sutton, goes Beyond Genetics to explore the ways epigenetics gives a new and exciting dimension to the debate.
