genetics

Probably because the basis for the article is anthropology not genetics.

A lot of research like this makes an assumption that the genetics of modern native americans are close to pre-columbus genetics but that is almost certainly not the case.

Granted, most of what Bostrom refers to in context of the biological path is mostly related to human augmentation, genetics, selective breeding - things of that nature.

Evolutionary psychology is largely about assuming adaptive causes for things you don't bother to do any genetics to confirm.

For the most part, superheroes can't help what they are - they became that way through genetics or accident.

Both my parents were nearsighted too, so in my case genetics probably played a significant role.

Fly brains and human brains already have have neural networks for common tasks, like sensing motion, baked into our genetics.

Evolution / population genetics is probably the most abused paradigm in science -- perhaps Quantum Mechanics is a close second.

All in all, there is quite a bit of evidence that genetics can influence animal behavior both across and within species.

For obvious reasons, I wish this were caused by culture, but genetics is almost certainly at work.

Based on my reading, I'm quite confident in my belief that genetics explain at least 25% of behavioral differences.

It's also a contest of means, luck, money, food, biology, and genetics.

Does anyone else feel like this falls under a combination of "workaholic" and luck of genetics?

However, I'd say they are the minority and its really a "luck of genetics" thing rather than a learned skill.

Nevertheless I agree that this is suggestive evidence for "it's not just regular genetics".

I'm willing to believe people exist who do, but I suspect they fall under the "luck of genetics" category and just convinced themselves they learned it.
