Epigenetics & Character
Dr. Jim Penman presents a ground-breaking new hypothesis regarding why societies flourish and why they fail in “Epigenetics and Character.” He demonstrates how, as opposed to economic and political forces or the deeds of leaders, changes in the character of common people shape the course of history. Epigenetics, the study of how our environment changes our genes, is the key to all of this.
To understand the true causes of social change and how evolutionary mechanisms meant to adapt animal social behaviour to shifting food situations impact human history, Dr. Penman draws on history, biology, anthropology, and economics. He demonstrates how a threat greater than global warming faces both China and the West. But also, how use of epigenetics could radically change lives and societies for the better.
Epigenetics and Character is a rewritten version of ‘Biohistory: Decline of the West’, containing updates on Dr Penman’s research project which have led to important changes in the theory.
