    Epigenetics between the generations, we inherit more than just genes:

    https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-...rit-genes.html

    "We are more than the sum of our genes. Epigenetic mechanisms modulated by environmental cues such as diet, disease or lifestyle take a major role in regulating the DNA by switching genes on and off. It has been long debated if epigenetic modifications accumulated throughout the entire life can cross the border of generations and be inherited to children or even grand children. Now researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg show robust evidence that not only the inherited DNA itself but also the inherited epigenetic instructions contribute in regulating gene expression in the offspring. Moreover, the new insights by the Lab of Nicola Iovino describe for the first time biological consequences of this inherited information. The study proves that mother's epigenetic memory is essential for the development and survival of the new generation. Humans have more than 250 different cell types. They all contain the exact same DNA bases in exactly the same order; however, liver or nerve cells look very different and have different skills. What makes the difference is a process called epigenetics. Epigenetic modifications label specific regions of the DNA to attract or keep away proteins that activate genes. Thus, these modifications create, step by step, the typical patterns of active and inactive DNA sequences for each cell type. Moreover, contrary to the fixed sequence of 'letters' in DNA, epigenetic marks can also change throughout life and in responses to environment or lifestyle. (...)"

    What we are seeing is the decline of Asabiyyah (= social cohesion & solidarity) in the Western World:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asabiyyah

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muqaddimah#Sociology

    Asabiyyah (as described in Muqaddimah) is similar to C & V factors from the "Biohistory" theory. We're living in transitional times when Anglos are losing their status as the dominant civilization. A list of dominant Eurasian (and Eurasian offshoot) civilizations according to A. Van Sloan & James Sheehan:

    Time of domination (number of years) - civilization:

    4300-2700 BC (1600) - Sumerians
    2700-1075 BC (1625) - Egyptians
    1075-745 BC (330) - Phoenicians
    745-612 BC (133) - Assyrians
    612-539 BC (73) - Babylonians
    539-478 BC (61) - Persians
    478-323 BC (155) - Greeks
    323-197 BC (126) - Hellenistic
    197 BC - 378 AD (575) - Romans
    378-467 AD (89) - Gupta India
    467-589 AD (122) - Byzantines
    589-756 AD (167) - Tang China
    756-976 AD (220) - Muslims
    976-1071 AD (95) - Byzantines
    1071-1294 AD (223) - Song China and Mongol China
    1294-1527 AD (233) - Renaissance Italy
    1527-1588 AD (61) - Spain
    1588-1609 AD (21) - England
    1609-1672 AD (63) - Netherlands
    1672-1814 AD (142) - France
    1814-1830 AD (16) - Austria
    1830-1918 AD (88) - Great Britain
    1918-2018 AD (100+) - the USA

    ^^^
    The last two centuries have been times of the domination of Anglos (England + its offshoots). Now the Anglo world is in decline, its domination has lasted for a pretty long time anyway.

    This is good stuff, interesting reads and vids.

    I wouldn't say the US became completely dominant until after WWII, and I don't think England suddenly became supreme after beating the Spanish Armada. But for the sake of breaking it down neatly, I get it. I guess in late antiquity, Gupta India was more powerful than the decaying Roman Empire.
