Telegonia: how to get pregnant by one, and give birth to another
A Life / / December 19, 2019
Say, genes are transmitted to offspring of female partners. Layfhaker figured out whether we should make a list of all her lovers.
What is Telegonia?
Telegonia - it is a theory of how hereditary characteristics are transmitted. If she believe that all sexual partners leave a mark on the body of each other. This footprint can then emerge in the offspring, even if they were conceived from the other partner.
For example, if when a woman met black man, it is many years later can have a baby with dark skin, even if his father - fair-skinned blond. Especially important from the point of view of Telegonia considered first sexual partner, which affects the uterus memory and "fills the stick" of its information space.
The idea, in principle, not bad, if you consider it from a different angle, for example, to gather all the best "wave" DNA of the coolest men and have children with super powers. But supporters Telegonia have on this argument: it is corruption, but it does not work.
Where did the belief in Telegonia?
In Telegonia believed or always, or almost always. The name of her Greek and means "born far away." Even the myth of Telegonia there. Like all Greek myths, it is a tragic and a little absurd.
Science has stolen up to this point, when Charles Darwin, who is still referred to as the unquestioned authority in any area, recorded the experience of Lord MortonTelegony. the crossing of a mare with a zebra. At first mare from zebra striped foals were born. And then from an ordinary horse were sometimes striped foals. The experience was recorded from the words of the Lord, and though in the words of Lords question is not accepted, not pulled on a scientific experiment.
Therefore, in 1889 the breeder Cassar Ewart spent an experience that was to prove or disproveStriped daughter of Lord Morton's mare. this theory. Mares involved longer, but the result was not confirmed Morton.
Further experiments on dogs raised in the XIX century, the same process is not confirmed TelegoniaCollegiate Dictionary FA BUT. Brockhaus and I. BUT. Efron.. A discovery of genes and understanding how they work, should be turned into the old myth Telegonia. But no.
What science says about it?
DNA can be integrated into another. It's true. This is based on the principle of creating GMO. This is when using the plasmids and viruses change the properties of plants and animals. Some viruses themselves perfectly embedded in the DNA, to take the same HIV.
Only to conceive of man is irrelevant.
For the conception we have egg, Which is half of the chromosomes. And the sperm, which is the other half of the chromosomes. When the two halves meet, get a zygote - a cell with a full set of chromosomes, which are necessary for the development of the embryo and fetus and then a baby.
Stick the extra chromosome nowhere. Although there are a number of violations when the chromosomes more than necessary, or, on the contrary, lower. They are connected, most likely to malfunction during cell division, and not with the "extra" information up to this point somewhere dozing.
In Telegonia it is assumed that the chromosomes of the zygote are changing under the influence of a certain wave genetics or uterine memory.
E.B.Modern science can not tell you how possible Telegonia. There is no single theory that would support the transmission of hereditary traits mechanism at a distance, and with the help of the genome (of whatever).
All of these beliefs, from the inheritance of acquired traits to Telegonia now be classified as superstition. They do not stand up pilot studies and inconsistent with what is known about the mechanisms of heredity and predictable properties of genetic material.
By the way, the egg ripening in non-pregnant and non-breastfeeding women about once a month. Why in this case the wave memory of the uterus not immediately fertilizes her genes sexual partners - is unclear. But this is not the only issue to Telegonia.
Who believes it?
It turns out that many. Particularly among many preachers Telegonia healers such as the well-known Zhdanov, Trohlebov and many other promoters of healthy lifestyles, the ancient Vedas and divine righteousness. Telegonia used to show the dangers of premarital sex.
Trying to figure out what research and discovery based supporters Telegonia showed that in the bank they have everything. Everything. Notes referred to Adolf Hitler, on the results of experiments in the concentration camps. The development of the USSR in scientific institutes personally under Stalin's leadership. Dark-skinned infants born many years after the festival of youth in the Soviet Union.
Unfortunately, since all of these research and data, of course, it was kept secret, the single document, which would be referred to the supporters Telegonia does not exist.
It has at least some proof?
Except stories a series of "one grandmother said," some signs Telegonia were foundRevisiting telegony: offspring inherit an acquired characteristic of their mother's previous mate. flies Telostylinus angusticollis - the favorite of all the experimental geneticists. However, the study was only one, and the flies are significantly different in structure from the man. Scientists have only emphasized that perhaps this phenomenon could somehow affect the transmission of heredity in other insect species. But in mammals, and the more a person that does not workCould previous lovers influence appearance of future children?.
All other experiments to test Telegonia failed, with more ever since, like talking about it.
What's wrong with Telegonia?
It would seem that everyone believes in what he wants, why some people do not believe in Telegonia?
- This is a direct roll back to the Middle Ages, when it was possible to believe in anything, because science itself was not. Insistent promotion discredited theory - it is a regression. Such an approach to science is unacceptable, whatever the scope of this science is not concerned. The more that the question of genetics, one of the most promising sectors, which explores all over the world (even ashamed somehow for telegonistov).
- In this know how to make money. Imagine, there are even ceremonies of purification from Telegonia.
- This banal sexism. Because the responsibility for all Telegonia and wave genetics again shifted to the woman. In particularly serious cases, the brain Telegonia believed that the woman's fault have that looked at her man.
- This theory helps to strengthen the ties of and a kind of "spirituality", but at the same time prevents talk about sexuality, about normal with respect to the body and choosing a partner with whom to be comfortable and easy to build relationships.
What kind of game?
Game that Telegonia can affect anyone. But not in the sense that the kids will like the neighbor, sebaceous looked at his wife. For example, children in textbooks for family life will see the link to an article about Telegonia - the science of virginity. And if not the Minister of Health of Chuvashia noticeThat seven sexual partners a woman has guaranteed sterility.
Layfhaker not recommend anyone to use this statement as a method of contraception. It is better to choose a desired method from our detailed guide.
