Do you mean genetics, per se, or biology more generally like epigenetic factors and prenatal/early childhood development? If the latter, then I think 50% is rather low.
- kypro 1y agoI wasn't specifically including epigenetic factors, but I'd agree that if you were to include prenatal conditions and early childhood there's very little left to be shaped by environmental factors. At least assuming the environment they grow up in is fairly typical and not extreme or traumatising.
