Epigenetics applies to marine animals too. Nice! I love using the epigenetic approach while debating with fundamentalists who ignorantly judge any so-called sins such as violence, addiction, and sexual orientation. I'm probably too idealistic, but I'd like to see people understand that we are fully responsible for our human experience, individually and collectively. I don't like blanket dismals premised on genetics, God(S), and/or devils.
