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?
