Environment and Genetics

I had a rather interesting discussion with a very intellectual man from America who took up genetics and all that science stuff that's insanely interesting to the layman like myself, but surely very complicated if taken in detail.

We talked about epigenetics (think Assassin's Creed 1 and 2) and basic genetics. I asked him, if he believed that a man's brain, or capacity to divulge knowledge or information may be limited by once's genes.

He said surely yeah, the same way having bad genes can lead you to be austistic, good genes can leave you at a head start. He also of course made mention of the many variables like the environment, which includes family, school etc.

very very interesting couple and his wife is surely very lucky  to have such an intellectually stimulating man. Hope to see him around sometime and that he succeeds at his work so I can say..."hey, i had coffee with that guy who's on CNN now!!!"

maybe miggie has their pictures.
