Abstract Phenotype of living creature is influenced by its hereditary and environment. As a kind of social creature, the development of human being is not only influenced by the natural environment, but also influenced by other individuals of human being. The experiences that undergoing adversity at the early age of lifetime, have effects not only on the progress of victim's development and the performance of behavioral and physiological condition, but also on the variety of corresponding epigenetic states. The variety of epigenetic states is not equal to the original DNA sequence changes, but may influence the offspring via intergenerational transmission. The influence may be transmitted by the “epigenetic-changed” germ cells or “epigenetic-changed” environment or behavior. As research indicated, “special-time” stimulation on the animals which suffered adversity at their early age, could reduce the bad performance which induced by the early-time adversity. It is worth to infant care and early education, especially to improve standard of early educational industry and to provide assistance to the exploited children.
