Unbelievable facts
Genetics is the science that studies the human genome (or the sequence of DNA strands). This science is quite young, because the genome itself was deciphered relatively recently. But the possibilities of genetics go far beyond modern medicine.
By knowing the cause of diseases and other human characteristics at the genetic level, it is possible to cure them and change them forever in the human embryo. Of course, this approach will not stand up to ethical criticism, but things may turn upside down in the future.

The basis of genetics is the study of the human genome, the code encoded in each cell that determines its development. It is known that a person inherits DNA, but he receives it slightly modified.
With a complete understanding of how code works, a person would be able to trace its development from the very beginning, as well as look into the future of code for a particular person and his children. So now let's talk about some interesting facts from the world of genetics.
Genetics Facts
1. Intelligence is not transmitted from father to man, so forget that if you are very smart, your son will also be a genius.
2. A father's idiocy won't be passed on to his son. If you're a real idiot, then to your joy your son won't be like you.
3. Intelligence is only half transmitted from father to daughter.
4. A man inherits intelligence from his mother, who inherited hers from her father.
5. The daughters of male geniuses will take exactly half of his genius from their father, and the son will take everything. If the father is stupid, then the daughter will also be half the same. Therefore, there are almost no genius women, just as there are no 100 percent idiot women. But there are a lot of male geniuses and idiots. This also includes a generation of single mothers, drunken losers, and Nobel laureates, the vast majority of whom are male.
So, the conclusions for men are:
– in order to roughly understand what intelligence your son will have, look at your wife's father, and if he is an academic, then your son will be smart;
– your daughter will get half your intelligence but half your idiocy. In general, she will be closer to you in terms of mental abilities. Her son, your grandson, will get 100 percent of your intelligence, so if you want a smart generation, dream of a daughter.
– you got your mental skills from your mother, or to be more precise, from your grandfather.

Conclusions for women:
– your son is smart to be your father, so scolding him for being stupid by saying that he is the same as his father is not entirely correct;
– Your daughter will be raised like you, but she will be mentally similar to her father, and her sons will be intellectual copies of your husband.

It is believed that the main indicator of increased life expectancy is that modern older people live longer. But that's not really the case.
A huge, main and strategically important indicator of increasing life expectancy is that old age begins much later today, and not that it lasts longer.
Those who are 40, 50 or 55 today will face old age at about 75 years old. This is a quarter of a century longer than it was for our parents' generation. More recently, there were three main periods in any person's life, namely youth, maturity and old age. Today, maturity comes at the age of 50, and marks the beginning of a new, previously non-existent stage in a person's life.
What do we know about this phase?
1. It lasts a very long time, almost 30 years (from about 50 to 75 years).
2. Unlike previous realities, today, a person's intellectual and physical capabilities, with the right approach, do not just not decrease, but at least remain no worse, and sometimes better, than when they were young.
3. Today, this is the best and most qualitative period in a person's life, as it combines strength, health and life experience. You can't say more about such people “if youth knew, if old age could”. According to numerous statistical observations, this is the happiest time in a person's life.
4. Those people who are 55-65 years old today are the first to live this period in history. It did not exist before, as people began to age much earlier.
5. In the near future, people aged 50-75 will become the largest group on the planet.
