Über Epigenetik

Immer wieder wird darüber diskutiert, was denn das Verhalten
unserer Hunde beeinflusst. Dabei stehen meist Genetik sowie
Umwelteinflüsse im Fokus. Allerdings gibt es etwas, das man
"Epigenetik" nennt.


Deshalb versuche ich in dieser Folge, Epigenetik zu erklären und
aufzuzeigen, wie diese denn genau "funktioniert". Wie beeinflusst
Epigenetik das Verhalten? Wie hängt das mit Genetik und der
Umwelt zusammen?
