If you'd grown up in that environment, then yes, of course you would be the same as them back then. Genetics certainly hasn't changed much in two generations.

I don't think memetics is applicable in this case since the idea assumed he was born and raised back when his grandparents were. (Same sperm and egg, different culture.) Maybe you're right about epigenetics though, I don't know enough about that.
