EPIGENETICS is the fastest growing field in science. It is the study of changes in organisms caused by the modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. This has profound implications for how we as humans have become what we are and how we might alter and improve ourselves from our time in utero onwards. These books, articles and videos help to better understand this process.
