You seem to miss the point which is rather clear. Genius is not Inate, It is man made. Basically he is saying that it is nurture which makes genius and not nature.

So just to explain it more clearly, it is the environmental circumstances which make a genius and not his genes.

Thank you for your contribution. Is it really impossible that a genetic difference accounts for some of a person's willingness and/or ability to devote the huge amount of effort that's required to become a 'genius' in any pursuit? I propose we extend your theory: the total inability to grasp complexity is also attributable entirely to environmental circumstances.
