3099 - SB34 - Epigenetics
OK this is from 2007. But there still is not a lot of talk about epigenetics. Here's a short (13 min) video about epigenetics. It's narrated by Neil DeGrasse Tyson so it's easy to listen to and understand. Did you know that what your grandparents ate affected you genetically?

Mike, first I'm just saying that I'm glad I don't have an identical twin...sounds kind of freaky to me. As for differences, my hubby and I were discussing why people with German heritage tend to be blonde and fairer skinned than those from say the Middle East, yet we are supposed to be descendants from the same 7 tribes? Maybe Epigenetics is the answer?
This is a good brief on how genetics is not the sole determinant of what makes a person.
A good discourse on epigenesis.
Still, identical twins are uncannily alike. They are even more likely to be concordant for schizophrenia than are fraternal twins.
