Born to Burn: How Unhealed History Becomes Today's Behavior

By Dr Mozelle Martin

Road rage. Riots. Polarization. Violence replayed online for clicks. None of it is new. Behind today's chaos lies a truth written in bones, genomes, and memory: trauma is inherited. In Born to Burn, Dr. Mozelle Martin-drawing on nearly four decades in forensic science, criminology, and behavioral analysis-reveals how scars of famine, war, plague, and cruelty still live inside us, shaping personality quirks, sleep patterns, politics, and culture. History doesn't repeat detail for detail, but its wounds do. Neuroscience and biology confirm what survivors have always known: silence guarantees repetition. This groundbreaking work stands alongside Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score," expanding trauma science beyond the individual to show how collective injury becomes coded into descendants. It confronts us with a stark reality-and an urgent possibility: if pain transmits, so can resilience. A powerful companion to Dr. Martin's 2025 release, "When the Earth Says Enough."
