("The Ghost In Your Genes," also available on YouTube in multiple parts)
Our comprehension of the workings of genetics remains crude and primitive, despite advances. In 50-100 years we'll have a keener understanding of epigenetics... at which point no doubt some form of epi-epigenetics will be discovered and require further unraveling!
