You’ve Been Lied To About Genetics


Should we give (Mendel’s) peas a chance? Nah, we’ve moved on.

CORRECTIONS:

9:56 – Weldon didn’t exactly try to replicate Mendel’s results – he didn’t do any crosses. His plates were moreso a proof of concept to show that the pea colour trait was more variable than Mendel was letting on. It certainly wasn’t a binary.

13:50 – It was Mendel’s 200th birthday LAST year actually, but this video took so long to make that I never picked up that mistake in the script as the new year ticked over. Oh well, happy belated 200th birthday Mendel.

  1. I thought that it was general knowledge now that the surroundings one lives in change the dna. Bruce Lipton has held some interesting talks about that topic.

    There have also been projects at the London (?) university that showed that meditation changes the dna to the better.
