Understanding Genetics: Exploring The Impact of Genetic Research and Discoveries Over the Past Century (Published)
This article embarks on a journey to explore how genetics has shaped humanity over the past 100 years, setting the stage for a comprehensive series, “WHAT THEY DID TO YOU – 100 YEARS AGO.” This series will delve into various facets of genetics and its far-reaching implications on behaviour, environment, and human development. It exploration begins with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of genetics. It will discuss how genes are the blueprints of life, encoded in DNA, and how they influence every aspect of our being, from physical traits to complex behaviors. By grasping the basics of genetic inheritance, mutations, and genetic diversity, we can better appreciate the intricate interplay between our genes and our lives. In subsequent articles, it will broaden our scope to examine how genetic predispositions can influence behavioral tendencies and personality traits; the dynamic interaction between our genetic makeup and environmental factors, including epigenetic changes; how our five senses shape our thoughts, decisions, and overall lifestyle; the genetic and environmental factors affecting fetal development from conception to birth; among others. This series aims to provide a holistic understanding of how genetics has shaped our lives over the past century and how we can harness this knowledge to influence future outcomes. By unraveling the intricate web of genetic and environmental interactions, this research hopes to offer insights into the profound impact of our genetic legacy and the possibilities for shaping a better future.
