From the Radiolab podcast: How your grandfather’s diet can affect your lifespan, heart health — and even your diabetes risk.
Once a kid is born, their genetic fate is pretty much sealed. Or is it? In this episode, originally aired in 2012, we put nature and nurture on a collision course and discover how outside forces can find a way inside us, and change not just our hearts and minds, but the basic biological blueprint that we pass on to future generations.
Episode Segments:

1:26 Leaving Your Lamarck

40:29 What If There Was No Destiny?
