4. Do Genetics Determine Who we are?

We have introduced the ideas of genetics in this book, but do our genes control who we are?

Are genes alone responsible for physical characteristics as well as behavioural and emotional characteristics? The ideas behind this debate continue today, and have important implications for us as people. If we are genetically predisposed to having a bad temper, being irresponsible, uptight, or being happy go lucky? Are we stuck with those traits, or can we change?

The next book will look at the ideas of our genes, and our environment and which one has a greater influence on us as humans.
