The human genome has less information in it than a playlist. And even at that, we share most of our genes with mice.

Our brains can store at least 5 and probably 10 or 15 orders of magnitude more information.

I'm not saying that genes don't influence our behavior, but if you pick a random human behavior, it orders of magnitude more likely to be learned than to be determined by genetics.

People who disagree with us are not somehow less evolved than we are; they just have had different life experiences that we did.
