you could say in all different levels, touch, thought, and action. Genetically , humans are capable of healing wounds in two different ways.the one way we generally know with a you know a little scar in the end and uh this scar comes about from immune cells really trying to keep everything safe
And to me, that finding is so profound because I think many of us feel uncomfortable about this idea of, let's say, genetically modified embryos or even genetically modified food. But if we don't get the sleep that we need, we may be inflicting a similar genetic engineering experimentunwittingly on ourselves every week.
There isn't a way in which you can say, well, hair type and nose shape and lips all correspond to make this type different from that type. Genetically , that's a bunch of nonsense.And so knowing that, the curators of the 1960s at the Field Museum decided
same quinoa that the Inca at500 years ago it is completely unchanged it has not been gen genetically modified um so what happened what happened was processentrepreneurs what happened was marketing distribution
I was miserable. I think it was genetics. Genetically , I was born with a low baseline, a low happiness baseline.And I'm one of those people who, when they were injured, looked at my chart before I was born, say, sorry, sucks to be you, sorry.
It really involves critical mass of people like you guys sitting around thinking through the problems much like Boyle and Smith did back in the late 60s. And my concern Genetically engineer the thing so it produces let's say ethanol or even a higher more sophisticated version closer to biofuel like a diesel.
Explorer variety I think the country he meant it he not only meant it psychologically and sociologically but genetically he feels that and I think the country felt an authenticity thereuh when he was advertising change and indeed it's true um
and free content, and freely available amateur content. And the downside for them is unlike, let's say the music business or the movie business, they don't have sort of a live component genetically modified food people. A lot of the resistance in Europe and Africa to those seeds is thanks to people like Prince Charles and also Greenpeace is a very big protester
So this is an intriguing fact that identical twins, if you see them-- every given day you see them, they're slightly more distinct from each other, both genetically and epigenetically. And we've also known that people accumulate mutations just as a consequence of aging.
I say no. And there have been good reasons why not, but that's a topic we're not going to get into today. Or genetically altering humanity. And there are some ways to say, well, maybe we can do that, but it's really, really tough.
Trash-- I'm kind of shocked, to be honest. And genetically modified coral will and can be up to three degrees resistant to temperature, so really trying to get that pushed out.
are single-gene mutation, meaning it's like an on/off switch, whether it's Tay-Sachs, or sickle cell disease, or Huntington's disease, so-called Mendelian disease, or genetically relatively simple traits, like hair color and eye color. But we are moving into a world where we are going to use something called polygenic scoring to be able to make predictions of complex diseases, disorders,
It's happening. It's changing the world around us. And genetically -modified crops are another example where the scientists actually did a pretty good job of setting ground rules and behaving responsibly
you're really ambitious you want to build a colony there um but the minimum number of people that you need to build a genetically stable and healthy colony in a new area is 40,000 people interesting interesting that it's sort of a rabbit hole I went down recently like how many people do you actually
But when I was pregnant, I had no interest in those things. And genetically -based factors affect so many aspects of it, including things like how tempting a food looks to you, how rewarding that food is to you, how much you crave
If you're concerned about that, probably 80% to 90% of our soy and cotton-- cotton too-- but soy and corn are genetically modified. And I know there's pediatricians that are taking that these kids who-- there's a big influx of problems with their bellies now. They're getting diarrhea and constipation and all this.
And his lab genetically modified E. coli bacteria, which replicates very quickly.
If you could genetically engineer someone to have much bigger muscles, does it become a matter of who can engineer the best build?
We never eat genetically modified foods because they have glyphosate and BT toxin, both of which have microbiome implications.
where people are building genetically engineered material, lab-grown silk, and-- leather.
So I seem to genetically have gotten a pretty good lottery win.
a member of genetically , because I'm 20% Ghanaian.
They're influenced genetically , but by many, many genes' small effect.
They're genetically identical if you sequence their DNA.
They're selecting for genetically -influenced traits of school achievement and ability.
So they're actually genetically identical to their mother.
and the Americans as genetically inferior.
Because it's a genetically inherited blood disorder.
So the bacteria genetically outpace us by almost 200-fold.
And so therefore-- genetically -- And so therefore, they have these-- they have these dioramas in San Diego and places where they show Adam.
are not genetically designed to do this.
is actually genetically predetermined.
uh biologically and genetically um and this work really dates to uh a seminal piece that Nick
this is genetically instantiated and I believe that the data suggests that well doesn't just suggest that but really demonstrates that what happens is that
But the first genetically modified tree is the American chestnut.
And they're genetically modified so that they dominate so that you could actually introduce them into a population and get rid of the malaria-carrying
They're selecting their genetically more diverse person.
They modify themselves genetically .
We definitely change-- we genetically engineer all sorts of things.
kind of genetically modified themselves to do things better than other beings.
We do know that genetically everybody's born with a certain personality.
Are they genetically somewhat different or are they still pretty much the same?
I think that genetically I'm determined because my dad was very much like that for sure.
Now celiac is a genetically predetermined disease.
So they genetically keep to themselves.
Because if they genetically engineer it, and much of our food is today, if it's grown with poisons that residues are
And that genetically , there's just some stuff I'm predisposed not to like.
Farm animals are genetically manipulated, artificially bred, mutilated, confined, cruelly beaten, been killed for food.
They've been genetically bred to grow twice as big and twice as fast as normal.
I am not genetically coded to do math.
