This is an excellent book by a science writer with a long reputation. You’ve completely got the wrong end of the stick.

  It’s an open discussion not settled in any direction.

    There are many open questions in biology, but this article is by and large the current consensus in genetics and molecular biology. There are enough facts by now that we can conclude environment plays a big role, real traits are multigenic, the lock-and-key hypothesis was misleading, and evolution has a number of tricks up its sleeve that were not previously appreciated.

      Oh, if your point is that both environment and genetics (and circumstance/luck) plays a large role in development then we completely agree. If you're saying that the role of genetics is overstated or insignificant then I strongly disagree.
