Marcus Pembrey is one of a select band of scientists, a band of scientists who are daring to challenge an orthodoxy. They believe the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even our great grandparents can directly affect our well-being, despite never experiencing any of these things ourselves. To many, these ideas are regarded as scientific heresy.
You can not predict where important discoveries will be. The only thing that you can do is to follow your instinct.
Conventional biology has always believed that our genetic inheritance is set in stone at the moment of our conception. At that instant, we each receive a set of chromosomes from both our mother and father. Within these chromosomes are the genes, strips of coded DNA, the basic unit of inheritance. After conception, it was assumed that our genes are locked away inside every cell of the body, protected and untouched by the way you live. So what you do in your life may affect you, but your genes remain untainted, unchanged for future generations.
