- Prediction · due Dec 2031
Huberman predicts that gene editing to remove disease risk will become commonplace in fertility within three to five years.
“I predict in probably three to five years, not ten, The technology that we were talking about earlier of muting the HIV receptor, that sort of thing will be very commonplace”

Shapiro says ancient DNA shows height-associated genes entered Europe with Yamnaya steppe migrants about 4,700 years ago, evidence of genetic selection in humans.
“a lot of these genes were first introduced into Europe with the steppe people at about 4,700 years ago at the Yamnaya”
