Lifestyle choice.

This obsession with genetics explaining every part of our behaviour is one of the most disturbing traits of modernity.

The refusal to accept genetics explaining any part of behavior is one of the most disturbing traits of the 20th century Tongue

Really ? I honestly don't see how so.



It does, for ideological matters. Believing in biological determinations or in free will leads to two very different visions of humanity.

It might not be scientifically impossible, but why assume a genetic determination before it's proven? Most of our preferences of any kind do not have a precisely determined origin - they are just part of our personality. Until there is some scientific evidence, I don't see the point of wondering about this. Nobody's wondering if our preferences on food, sports, or hobbies are genetic or not.
