There have been recent studies showing that our DNA changes in response to stress. That DNA is inherited by descendants even though the stress has changed.

Basically, evolution.

By stress I don't mean a tough day at work, but any type of stress put upon a person. Hunger, learning, emergencies and so forth.

It is probably true about other human experiences but I don't think that's been studied, but it stands to reason. We need to think of DNA as "a living document" not something cast in stone.
