But that s the point that Dr. Gilbert just made. Dr. Gilbert, there s always been this debate about nature versus nurturing, that is, whether the environment contributes more to behavior, or, you know, genes. It doesn t change it. The debate will still go on. Genes contribute to that.
Environment affects that.
They interact in a way that we don t understand at this point in time, and there are many genes that contribute to this, not just the gene on the X-chromosome. They re only one aspect. Environment and the society in which you re brought up in, the number of siblings you have, they all affect the way you actually evolve. So genes are a part of this, but they re not the final and absolute determinant. What this leads you to is the ultimate isolation of the gene, itself.
