Overview
The science of genetics is undergoing shift. DNA is not unchanging template of heredity and the sole agent of inheritance. There is increasing awareness that non-genetic information can also be inherited across generations. To unify genetic and non-genetic heritability the concepts of inclusive heritability were recently proposed. Non-genetic inherited information can arise through several mechanisms: epigenetics, parental effects, ecological and cultural inheritance. A fundamental change in the social, cognitive and affective neuroscience and other social sciences is being expected.
Keywords:
inclusive heritability – epigenetics – parental effects – cultural inheritance
