[quote=Anonymous][quote]Is the study of genetics and DNA junk science? I'll have to make sure my cousin in medical school knows about this![/quote] No, only individuals who believe (with no iota of evidence or data) intelligence and mental or physical perfomance is fixed at conception or birth and discount well established biological concepts of potential effects of conditioning, epigenetics, and the plasticity of biological tissue (grey and white matter). Genetic material (genes, DNA) subject to many influences turning on and off or changing their expression in response to environment events (passive and active) over a lifetime. I trust your cousin is not studying junk science in his school. You should consult and find out. [/quote]
