There are certainly a series (definitely not one) of genes that can influence how much altruist or racist or violent you are, but the education you are given and the culture in which you grow in are much more powerful in shaping your behaviour. | |

Yes, it may not be pure genetic. Then what? How, mathematically, those traits reproduce? Does every such traits come with a complementary trait to like those with the traits? Still some part is mathematically missing. | |

| Jun 20, 2012 at 16:33 | comment | added | nico | So... essentially you are looking for examples of dominant alleles with a clear phenotype? I do not understand your examples, though: racism, wars etc. are all but "easy" situations that definitely cannot be explained [just] in terms of genetics. Also, when you write "sample" do you mean "example"? I am asking because sample has a different meaning. | |
