Is there any scientific basis for the inheritance from the first father? From whom do the genes in your child come?
The genes in your child, who did they come from?

I once read a case in a book, in the ancient countryside, there was a female domestic pig, white and flowery, because the breeding technology of that time is different from now, basically in the state of free-range.
The female pig ran around the village every day, sometimes to the nearby mountains in search of food, who knew there was such a male wild boar with dark brown skin in the mountains, they played together every day, and over time fell in love, and then was born with the male boar fur characteristics of the mixed-color piglets.
When the piglet was born, it made the villagers realize the existence of this male wild boar, and soon after, it became a dish in the villagers' bowl. The female domestic pig with flowery white color was sad, but there was nothing she could do about it all, and she could only look at the distant mountains and wipe her tears alone in the dead of night.
Although the male boar died, life must continue, the owner of the female domestic pig soon gave her a family, a local domestic pig, and soon they gave birth to love crystals, but at this time, humans suddenly found that the birth of the piglets, but inherited the characteristics of the male boar, the appearance of mottled and messy brown pig hair.
And the strange point is here, you know in the female domestic pig to form a new family, the male boar has been dead for a long time, that is to say, according to reason this batch of piglets and it has no relationship at all, but the birth of the piglets appeared in its genes.
In Darwin's "Origin of Species", also described the same case, as Darwin's contemporaries of a surgeon named Everard, he first let a male and female white horse mated with a zebra, and then let the white horse mated with the same white male, but when the male and female white horse born offspring, but inherited some of the characteristics of zebra, in the foal's feet with the unique stripes of zebra.
This matter was later known by Darwin, due to the time and no genetic testing technology, the emergence of such a strange thing, so Darwin thought hard, but also do not understand the reasoning, but he thought there must be some relationship with the front of the male, so he became this phenomenon: indirect heredity, later named the first father heredity, the English name Telegony.
It is the appearance of all kinds of incomprehensible phenomena, coupled with no genetic testing technology at the time, since the 19th century for a long time, so that the theory of paternal inheritance overshadowed, in the folk were rumored, then the existing DNA testing technology, the theory of paternal inheritance, in the end, there is no scientific basis for it?
This is a point of concern for many people, which relates to the genes in your child's body, in the end from whom the problem, many people's hearts tighten, some anxiety.
It is a good idea to say that the theory of paternal inheritance, has always been a hypothesis, and has never been confirmed, after the development of modern genetics, found that it is a complete pseudoscience, its most prevalent era is at the end of the 19th century, at that time, although the rapid development of natural science, human beings from some imagination, to summarize the laws of things.
Using the existing genetic compilation technology, there is no research to prove that humans will carry the genes of their late father, which also defies the perception of modern genetics. In the current scientific experiments, none of the direct descendants of humans are found to carry the genetic characteristics of their mother's former spouse.
In the current scientific experiments, some species are indeed found to have paternal traits, and some insects carry the genes of the first male after mating, but this is because insects have a different body structure than humans and reproduce differently.
These insect species, as long as mating once, can be a lifetime of egg-laying, for example, centipedes, these species are most affected by the first male insects, and in turn, the latter is less affected.
In fact, with the development of genetics, the earliest development in the West, the theory of paternal inheritance, has long been abandoned by them, that it is only a product of the backward period of science and technology as if some of our ancient bad habits.
We pick up a genetic theory that has long been abandoned by the West. In the scientific database PubMed, if you search for Telegony, there are only a few papers, and all of them come from China, which means that only Chinese people are concerned about this problem, and only Chinese people are studying it.
Those papers are not supported by experimental data but are spliced from various other theories, which seems to be conjectural speculation, the credibility is not high, and the results obtained are not rigorous.
Conclusion: The current national support for this theory, with a Nobel Prize in 2012, so that those who advocate it seems to find a maximum basis the winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology, John Gordon and Shinya Nakanaka, the reason for their award is: the discovery of mature cells, can be reprogrammed to become immature cells, which in turn develop into human organs.
The reason for this award: is to prove that the cell genome can be inverted, and the significance of this Nobel Prize is that human stem cells can be induced to reprogram and then reverse into human organs, the significance of this Nobel Prize does not see a little relevance to the genetics of the first father.
Therefore, modern people, should abandon those ancient pseudoscientific theories, and believe in modern scientific research, as for the example of pigs and horses told at the beginning of the article, it is possible that the intergenerational transmission?
