- toasterlovin 7y agoJust responding here as well. The book actually puts forward genetics as the most important cause of behavioral differences. It then argues that the next most important cause is not parenting but what is referred to in the literature as non-shared environment (aka, everything other than parents, family, neighborhood, etc, which are all grouped under shared environment). Shared environment has zero effect.
