[quote=Anonymous]It is amazing the skill sets the human brain, mind and body develop rapidly due to environmental conditions.  The normal individual that becomes, blind or deaf at a young age, over compensates for this deficit and may develop acute and exquisite ability in other functional domains simply because of this environmental accident.

The boy born right-handed for several years that because of injury to the right arm or leg develops skills on the left side due to use and over compensation and ultimately ends up with a highly skilled ambidexterous left upper and lower extremity that the pro-bbaseball and basketball scouts marvel and drool over -- a "gift".  If the kid had not had the injury of the right arm and leg and subsequent dysfunction for several years before recovery he likely would have never developed the skilled ambidextrous gifts on the left.  ... and no Pro contract.

Environment plays a large role in the skills we develop.  And you can trace these new changes (plasticity) all the way back to our inherited genetic material from the tissue, organ, cell and DNA level.[/quote]
