I think too they have not done clearly the research. Yes, some aspects of the behavior of a person are in the genetics, but it's more the environment that models it.
Eg. in my family we have a strong tendency to identify new business opportunities, but this doesn't mean it's 100% because of the DNA.
It's more about about the environment (in my case family) type of culture and education.
Thanks for the name of the report. Can you send me a copy?
- tokenadult 17y agoI think too they have not done clearly the research. Who is "they"? Are you referring to the authors of the article I cited above, ohnson, W., Turkheimer, E., Gottesman, I., and Bouchard, T. (2009). Beyond Heritability: Twin Studies in Behavioral Research. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 18, 4. 217-220. published in quite a respectable peer-reviewed journal? Anyone who follows this research should be familiar with the name of Thomas Bouchard, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Bouchard,_Jr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Bouchard,_Jr. who is one of the most eminent researchers on human behavioral genetics. Eric Turkheimer, http://people.virginia.edu/~ent3c/ http://people.virginia.edu/~ent3c/ another of the co-authors, should also be well known to anyone who has done research in this field at all. But, yes, this latest paper makes clear than even highly heritable traits are very subject to environmental influences, as the quoted paragraph above says. P.S. I might be able to find another work-around for obtaining the full paper for persons who post full contact information in their HN profiles.
