First-ever evidence on how violent experiences can alter the genome generationally

A new peer reviewed research article coauthored by ECPC member, Yale anthropologist Catherine Panter-Brick, presents “the first-ever evidence that violence can leave epigenetic marks on the genome”, writes Mike Cummings at Yale News (March 2025). These  findings have important implications for understanding human evolution and how traumatic experiences can persist for generations, unless more resources are dedicated to alleviate violence, abuse, and poverty.
