Robin, shortly after Pavlov's death, his theory of acquired characteristics was supposedly disproved. Recently the study of epigenetics has shown that feast or famine in one generation can alter how genes are expressed in subsequent generations. The PBS show NOVA ran a documentary last year on the new discovery that was quite fascinating. I just viewed the video shown by a fellow presenter at a genetics conference recently, and it was one of the best scientific documentaries I have ever seen. This video should be in everyone's home library. Read about it and view a preview of the video here:#7: Jota (jota) on Sep 7, 2009

Thanks, Teresa, for that link.#10: Teresa K (fasstar) on Sep 7, 2009
LOL, Petra.#11: Robyn Broyles (ginkgo100) on Sep 7, 2009 [SPOILER]
Adam, it's so interesting. Scientists are looking into alcohol as an epigenetic agent. We already know that babies exposed to alcohol in the womb "remember" the smell and are more likely to start drinking at an early age (proven by animal research), and predisposes them to alcohol abuse. We also see children whose parents did not drink but who had grandparents who drank heavily and the grandchildren have neurobehavioral symptoms similar to children exposed to alcohol in the womb.

Yes, Robyn. There are so many factors to consider when looking at neurobehavioral disorders. The three main factors are genetics, prenatal exposure to alcohol, and of course environment after birth. People with mental health issues are more likely to abuse alcohol. Many mental health disorders are inheritable. Too many children are having to cope with both inherited disorders PLUS a compromised central nervous system because of alcohol exposure.#13: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Sep 8, 2009
Found to be logically solvable by jan.#14: Jane Doe (telly) on Jan 28, 2010
