Methylation-Assisted Epigenetic Evolution and the Psycho-biology of Human Experiences

DNA methylation-assisted epigenetic variation can provide an evolutionarily and ecologically important source of phenotypic variation among individuals. Through evolution by control over thoughts and emotions one can interpret the phenomenal experiences in a different light. Understanding of epigenetic mechanisms will provide insights into individual and population processes at both ecological and evolutionary time scales. Instead of biology controlling an individual's evolution through genetic expression, the latter may very well be determined by the individual's thoughts, actions and experiences. Epigenetics shows that the thoughts and the experiences control the biology. By changing the thoughts, one can influence and shape the genetic make-up and in turn can determine one's evolution in accordance with the experiences generated.
