SCIENCE SAYS, YOU CAN'T BEAT GENETICS The parenting myth: How kids are raised matters less than you think DNA is more important to a child’s personality, exam results and future income than the way they are brought up – but that’s good news, says geneticist Robert Plomin
IT IS an age-old question: are we shaped more by nature or nurture? Robert Plomin, a geneticist at King’s College London, has spent his career teasing apart the contributions of DNA and environmental factors to countless human traits, from body weight to personality and academic success. Environment is undoubtedly a key influence on almost every aspect of our lives. But Plomin argues that genetics plays a more important and measurable role, even to the extent that our parenting and schooling don’t matter that much. We caught up with him to discuss his sometimes controversial views. Give us an example showing how little influence parenting has on the way children turn out. Take our propensity to be overweight. If zero means parents have no influence and one means total influence, when two siblings grow up together, their body mass index has a correlation of about 0.4. It’s easy to see how people attribute that mainly to nurture, because parents provide both siblings with the same food. But it turns out that isn’t true, and obesity runs in families for reasons of genetics. A killer piece of data is that the correlation for weight is 0 between adoptive siblings who grow up in the same family but don’t share genes. Even more striking is that if you were adopted at birth away from your sibling, you correlate just as much as if you had been reared together in the same family. Is this true for intelligence and personality too? Definitely for cognitive abilities. There aren’t as many studies on personality, but we know that identical twins reared apart are as similar in personality as identical twins reared together. I’ve studied identical twins who have grown up apart, and I find it amazing how they are so similar in things like the way they laugh or talk. What do these findings mean for who we are, and who we become? Twin and adoption studies have shown us that about half the differences between people in any trait you want to name is due to DNA differences, and half isn’t. But whatever the environment is, it makes two kids in the same family as different as those in two different families. The effects of the environment are random. The implications of these findings are enormous because it means inherited differences are the major systematic [non-random] force in making us who we are.
No it matters more than you think. Look at all those brain dead antifas shouting their lungs out with communist paroles. However parenting, racism, etc. doesn't have anything to do with niggers being niggers (stupid, violent, impulsive) or disabled people being disabled (can't do something normal people can with ease).

In all seriousness though, it is entirely possible for dysgenics to have played a role in the decline of white countries. There was another study posted on here that showed that intelligence has been decreasing since the 1800s in developed countries. It may very well be that many of these antifa people are just a product of their genetics. I say genetics even though it is mostly public propaganda in that while you can parent all you want, it is possible that your kid is a soft-minded dumbass and will just get swept away when he/she moves away from your field of influence.
So you take a genetically gifted child and let this couple raise them and they will turn out the same as if they were raised by a normal mentally healthy couple? Common sense much?
Sounds like a upset nigger who just found out his genetics explain his behavior (and his deatbeat dad)
This is technically old news since everybody with good genetics believe this already
Xavier Campbell
Interestingly enough, the science says mostly yes. This is proven in twin studies, socioeconomic studies, adoption studies, etc. The study that really got me was the one where adopted children who were taught to read were more like their birth parents in literate ability than their adopted parents. Every paper in every scientific journal keeps seeing the same results and it makes sense. What else would it be? It's a scientific reality we have to face.
Mason Nelson
How long until his academic career is ruined for being "literally Mengele"?
Jacob Foster
You are showing the signs of cognitive dissonance. Tells are starting your post with the word "so" and following it up with an absurd absolute.
The study showed that DNA is more important than how you are raised, NOT that it is the ONLY factor.
I was raised by a total retard and I came out ok. I've known lots of people raised by good people who turned into total dirtballs. It happens.
Cooper Nelson
Is there something wrong with this couple?
Ayden Cooper
Fuck off moarpheus.
Anthony Nguyen
Not surprising to most here. Your fate is decided when you're born.
Austin Myers
Are you upset that those people, who represent the bottom level of our perfection, are better than you in every way? Even our peasants are more worthy than your kings. It's divine law. Immutable. You are worthless subapes. We are living gods.
Our wrath is coming soon.
Easton Parker
Yes that is easily believable and many of us have in fact seen it.
Ryan Price
If they feed the kid correctly, do not molest or beat the child and play with and interact with the child? Yes. Deal with it, faggot.
Austin Russell
Pottery.
Grayson Carter
If it didn't matter you wouldn't have had jews like Spock trying to ruin multiple generations through bad parenting.
This is why they are so desperate to destroy the European gene pool and replace it with sub Saharan retard level genes.
Matthew Parker
But can you beat your meat?
Carson Wood
Unless the child's development is significantly hindered through severe abuse and neglect, i.e. being locked in a dark room from birth to age 6 and denied language, then by the time they hit their mid 20s, yes.
Justin Nguyen
I agree with the subapes but go take your meds. These delusions of grandeur aren't helping you.
Liam Diaz
Good news for Europeans.
Henry Lee
Soooo Meth won't affect a child's development, neither will Heroin or Alcohol. Because you "can't beat genetics… even though your genetics relies on the food and substances you or your pregnant mother eat to grow and develop… So if you consume bad things it will inhibit your development, but if you consume good things it promotes your development…"
Go paint huffing then! And top it off with a vaccination~! I'm sure zero-liability products won't hurt your body!
Oliver Harris
genes are funny: my parents were total scum retards but i turned out okay. only person with a degree, work as an independent academic researcher, eat a healthy diet, don't fornicate or engage in any degenerate behaviour. hell, don't even drink. i've got genetic problems with dopamine and motivation, tho. not to mention learning disability.
if you're gonna have kids, choose your woman well. sge should be blonde, sound of mind, upstanding, and intelligent. anything less is dysgenic.
Gavin Fisher
Epigenetics is important. Your environment can turn genes on and off. So even if it's all genetic, not everything is set in stone.
Christopher Martin
Yeah, I bet faggot OP thinks even a lobotomy is less important than genetics.
Another discussion about the Gardisil Vaccine… But you "cant beat genetics!"
Lucas Flores
But that's just one doctor, lets hear from another doctor! A professor of a medical school too! . .. … "Can't beat genetics".
Jaxon Diaz
Here is his testimony.
"cannot defeat the micro-development of multi-cellular organisms!"

This woman's baby must have had a genetic predisposition to dying… It couldn't have been an external substance that was introduced to the baby's system….
Jackson Gutierrez
Is this the true form of schizo posting?
Christopher Baker
OY VEY!
Cooper Brown
Nah, I'm just owning this thread. Did you know that what you eat affects your teeth? It's almost as if your body needs certain nutrients.
this is a complex issue. basically, the darker you are, the more your behavior is locked in. the lighter you are, the more mutable, or trainable you are. this is my own observation.
based on who my parents were I should be some type of high caste mega champion, but there were many life circumstances that took everything from me, leaving me at a lower level than what we be expected if you looked at simply genetics alone.
with niggers, yes they will remain niggers, but whites can clearly be changed in an almost infinite amount of ways due to the type of intellect we have.
Lel, enjoy your first month, pathetic summerfag. The holohoax never happened, but it should have, and it will soon. #KKK

First of all they are called National Socialists, dumb nigger, and they are the only one fighting the Jews you braindead nigger
Xavier Fisher
And I'm a Celtic warrior with a 60 year old friend who's a Roman Legionnaire Imperial Legate. We going to meet up with time traveling Vikings.
Xavier Allen
OP's title is retarded xd
if you didn't already understand this due to your own superior natural ability, afforded by your aryan genes then you are probably brown or have a large nose.

Mossad operates Natsoc fronts, it's all one giant honeypot.

They target genetic groups for destruction, like the Scottish for example, for being so bold as to rebuke their last empire of Rome.
