Klappentext zu „Blueprint “
A top behavioral geneticist argues DNA inherited from our parents at conception can predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses.This modern classic on genetics and nature vs. nurture is one of the most direct and unapologetic takes on the topic ever written (Boston Review).
In Blueprint, behavioral geneticist Robert Plomin describes how the DNA revolution has made DNA personal by giving us the power to predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. A century of genetic research shows that DNA differences inherited from our parents are the consistent lifelong sources of our psychological individuality the blueprint that makes us who we are.
Plomin reports that genetics explains more about the psychological differences among people than all other factors combined. Nature, not nurture, is what makes us who we are. Plomin explores the implications of these findings, drawing some provocative conclusions among them that parenting styles don't really affect children's outcomes once genetics is taken into effect.
This book offers readers a unique insider s view of the exciting synergies that came from combining genetics and psychology.
