    The Role of Epigenetic Scarring
    While the primary inheritance vector is the sequence of nucleotides, recent exobiological studies suggest that accumulated "epigenetic scarring" plays a significant, though poorly quantified, role in intergenerational outcomes. Epigenetic scarring refers to micro-structural distortions in the histone tails caused by environmental stresses (e.g., unusual atmospheric pressure fluctuations or exposure to d…
