Genes & the Inheritance of Memories Across Generations | Dr. Oded Rechavi | Huberman Lab

This podcast episode explores the controversy surrounding the concept of inheritance of acquired traits, specifically Lamarckian evolution, as it presents historical, scientific evidence and ongoing research challenges in understanding how traits are passed down across generations through mechanisms like epigenetics and RNA-based inheritance.
