Human Inheritance

Philosophy and The Human Inheritance in a Post-Western World

The dissolution of the Western-dominated Postwar Order, and the Eurocentric myths that sustain it, presents a unique opportunity to ponder an old question posed by every new generation: How can philosophy, which Islamic and ancient Greek learning traditions have long defined as the pursuit of “wisdom,” resume its millennial civilizing role? This paper looks beyond passing political events to re...

Human Blood Groups and Inheritance

Mercury Crystals from the Vapor" or "Oxymercuration of Alkenes." There is a good summary of "Relationship between Clinical Structure and Biological Activity in Mercurial Compounds," by Harris L. Friedman, a brief section, with references, on "Toxicology of Inorganic Mercury" by Leonard J. Goldwater, and an excellent short discussion by Alvin Farah of histochemical techniques for localizing the ...

Human Blood Groups and Inheritance

Epigenetic inheritance associated with human chromosome 14.

Within the last decade, there has been sufficient evidence to support the association of epigenetic inheritance or genomic imprinting on human chromosome 14. This has been achieved with studies of imprinting on both human chromosome 14 and mouse chromosome 12, which has the largest homology to human chromosome 14. Initial studies with mouse chromosome 12 aberrations suggested that specific phen...

Larsson & Harrison: Inheritance of adaptation in human visual cortex Spatial specificity and inheritance of adaptation in human visual cortex

Adaptation at early stages of sensory processing can be propagated to downstream areas. Such inherited adaptation is a potential confound for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques that use selectivity of adaptation to infer neuronal selectivity. However, the relative contributions of inherited and intrinsic adaptation at higher cortical stages, and the impact of inherited adap...
