*Can Fear😨 be Passed Down 👇 to Generations👨👩👦👦* ⁉️
Research📚 suggests that fear😨 can be passed down⬇️ from parents👫 through a process called _*epigenetic inheritance*_ .
Epigenetic inheritance is when parents👫 pass down🔽 traits or characteristics to their children👶 without changing the DNA🧬 sequence➿, which can be transmitted🔀 through the germline cells (sperm💧 or eggs🪺), allowing them to be passed on to future generations🧒.
Think of your DNA🧬 like a big library with many books📚 (genes). Epigenetic changes are like sticky notes🧾 on the books📚 that say "read this one more often" or "ignore this one for now." These sticky notes🧾 don't change the words in the book📖, but they change how the book📔 is used.
