Bev, in all such treatment of the subject as this, the mindset and assumption
underlies the thinking that the human experience is simply the playing out of
the interaction of our genes which determine every aspect of our lives.
That's why I say genetics is the modern astrology.
The view that we are a mechanism whose gears and tumblers are our genes
leads to the sort of physical fatalism the so pervades now of days.
Not for me, thanks, I perfer a different view of the human experience.
