| >Please, tell me more about the genetic mechanism behind religiosity, let alone 'everything'. Which genes are involved, how does the epitaxis play out, which pathways are influenced I've seen people here claiming that Asians are more conformists they've been selected for conformity from the time where your books were burnt if they were not allowed by the Chinese empire. >Which genes are involved, how does the epitaxis play out, which pathways are influenced? We know tall stature is genetic trait and we've many genes which correlate to tall strature. We don't know pathway which causes tall structure. So can you tell me which pathway makes a person tall? Should we stop believing tall strature is a genetic trait even if partially? Similarly, there are gay or transexual people - we don't know pathway, are you going to claim that its cultural? There are many gay in Muslim countries or India where they were not socially accepted for long time. There have been experiments on mouse where when they injected q mouse with testosterone, they became more dominant and fought more fiercely against the bully. Similarly, there are accounts of trans people who went from female to male - and became more competitive, aggressive, dominant. It's not far fetched to think there are hormones which turn depend on genes or environment which make a person more "individualistic" In psychology, we know of this disorder Borderline Personality Disorder which sometimes is genetic and sometimes not. It's a very individualistic disorder and person suffering from it finds it hard to keep meaningful relationships for long term. We don't know if it's caused by hormonal imbalance or genetics or some brain anomaly. Similarly, depression is contender for genetic trait yet we don't know any pathway. So what's my point? Asking for specific genes or pathway is not going to invalidate the hypothesis that a particular personality trait might have genetic basis |
