SORRY LADIES, IT’S ALL NATURE AND NO NURTURE

Mothers need to feel it’s nurture. But largely you can make your kids worse, but not better. So nurture is largely an effort not to let kids play in traffic. Otherwise it’s just genes.

—“For a majority (69%) of traits, the observed twin correlations are consistent with a simple and parsimonious model where twin resemblance is solely due to additive genetic variation. The data are inconsistent with substantial influences from shared environment or non-additive genetic variation.”—

THIS IS A HUGE STUDY

—“We report a meta-analysis of twin correlations and reported variance components for 17,804 traits from 2,748 publications including 14,558,903 partly dependent twin pairs, virtually all published twin studies of complex traits. “—

I’m gonna amplify this a bit and say that your extra attention is making kids more fragile and literally driving them mad.
