| Cultural Genetic Theory Cultural Genetic Theory is best described as the study of the impact of social, physical and emotional environment on successive generations of a population. Patterns of behavior passed from generation to generation or Trans-Genetic Adaptive Behaviors are developed in one generation to increase survivability. In a natural environment, lessons learned in one generation could indeed prove useful in subsequent generations. However, artificial environments, institutions and other external forces challenge the evolved cultural norm and cause adaptive behavior triggered by prolonged catastrophic (stressful) events. Trans-Genetic Adaptive behaviors are then, by extension, responsible for population events like health disparities, social inequalities and aberrant behavioral patterns within populations, creating an optimum environment for social injustice and systemic discrimination. |
