'''''Heredity''''' is a 1985 album by [[Rational Youth]], now down to singer [[Tracy Howe]] with numerous studio musicians. In retrospect, Howe was less than happy with the album, especially with the fact that it looked like he was using the Rational Youth name as a flag of convenience for a solo album. To date, the album has never seen a CD release.
''Heredity'' was produced by Howe together with former [[Klaatu]] member [[Dee Long]].
