Genes arent all that, whats really important is the environmental regulation of these genes <\/p>\n
This crap. Okay, so a raccoon can become a human with a proper environment? <\/p>\n
If not, then what is this guy saying? Is he saying 100% of all differences between all individual humans are down to environmental effects? 90%? 80%? <\/p>\n
Or is he just saying that differences between big groups of humans (dont dare call them races) are 99.999% down to environment? Individuals can differ in the hard code, groups of individuals can differ, but if the groups correspond with the classical races, then the hard code cannot differ in anything but that which is labeled by people today as unimportant, things like skin color. <\/p>\n
The silly thing is that epigenetic effects are ALREADY CAPTURED in old heritability estimates. Theyre just put in the bucket labeled environmentality. <\/p>\n
Its interesting to learn about the mechanisms by which environmentality occurs, but this guy heavily implies that this mechanism increases the importance of environment above what was previously considered. <\/p>\n
