Have you ever wondered why overweight smokers sometimes live longer than fans of a healthy lifestyle? And why is this human being so different from a monkey, if our genome almost completely coincides with the hereditary code of primates? Is it already in the womb that the fetus is determined what kind of person the fetus will become? These and other questions can be answered by a new science - epigenetics. Its main revolutionary discovery: genes determine not all. Their activity can be regulated - not least by lifestyle. And in general - we have in our hands unprecedented power over their own physical and mental health, as well as over the well-being and future of their children. German neuroscientist Peter Spork has been promoting science for twenty years. He is published in major German periodicals and also writes books.
