ONEBUNNE & EZEOBINWA: Possibility of Reincarnation a Biological-Education Approach 83 POSSIBILITY OF REINCARNATION A BIOLOGICAL-EDUCATION APPROACH. by Jude I.

For centuries the phenomenon of Reincarnation has been debated but science has it that it is the dominant expression of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Some religious beliefs and cultural practices hold tenaciously that human beings reincarnate. However, this paper, via hermeneutics and duly informed by Biological Education submits on the possibility of reincarnation and concludes on such scientific possibility as such. Keywords: Reincarnation, Biology-Education, Dominant-Recessive gene. Introduction Reincarnation is more of a religious concept than a cultural idea by which a living being starts a new life in a different physical body. The phenomenon of Reincarnation has been debated but science has it that, it is the dominant expression of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Alleles produce phenotype and genotype that are dominant or recessive which is associated with a particular allele as a result of masking, by which a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype. By this, in heterozygous offspring only the dominant phenotype will be apparent. Ndi Igbo, the Yoruba people and people of Urohbo speciously believe in reincarnation. However, reincarnation has its basis biologically which it is proven to be dominant expression of genes which could reflect in eye colour, skin colour, birthmarks and character in offspring. Hence, the possibility of reincarnation through biological explanations. Belief in Reincarnation has it that a living being starts a new life in a different physical body or form after each biological death or cessation of earthly life. It is also called rebirth or transmigration, and is a part of Samsara doctrine of cyclic existence (Oxford Dictionaries, 2016). According to Edeh, EMP (1985, 120) “the phenomenon of coming-to-be, of life and of death are realities outside the control of finite beings. But they are undoubtedly happening everyday”. Ikenga-Metuh, E. (1999, 252) accepts that “the belief that death is not the final end of man is common to all Africans Societies…Death after ripe old age is called God’s death or natural
