Dr. Ish Major, Inherited Trauma Theory

In a conversation with Charlamagne Tha God, Dr. Ish Major discusses the theory that trauma can be passed down genetically. He cites studies on the children of Holocaust survivors who show stress markers in their DNA despite living untroubled lives. This hypothesis is applied to the African American experience as a form of inherited PTSD from slavery.
