When a generation lives through war, the next may still carry its imprint. Syrian refugee families show epigenetic marks linked to trauma — a hint of a biological memory passed across generations.

Uno studio recente suggerisce che i traumi vissuti per esempio durante una guerra potrebbero lasciare segni epigenetici—modifiche chimiche al DNA—trasmissibili ai figli e ai nipoti.
