Question
Chapter 21, Problem 20AQP
a.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The evidence suggests that long-term of effects of famine on people conceived during the Dutch Hunger Winter are epigenetic effects
Introduction:
Dutch hunger winter is the extreme scarcity of the food in the Dutch country (Netherlands) during the end of world war II. The famine started in the October 1944 and ended in April 1945. Due to this terrible starvation, thousands of people died. This scarcity of food in Dutch people provides a natural experiment for analyzing the effects of famine on human.
b.
