A top behavioral geneticist makes the case that DNA inherited from
our parents at the moment of conception can predict our
psychological strengths and weaknesses.In Blueprint, behavioral
geneticist Robert Plomin describes how the DNA revolution has made
DNA personal by giving us the power to predict our psychological
strengths and weaknesses from birth. A century of genetic research
shows that DNA differences inherited from our parents are the
consistent lifelong sources of our psychological individuality--the
blueprint that makes us who we are. Plomin reports that genetics
explains more about the psychological differences among people than
all other factors combined. Nature, not nurture, is what makes us
who we are. Plomin explores the implications of these findings,
drawing some provocative conclusions--among them that parenting
styles don't really affect children's outcomes once genetics is
taken into effect. This book offers readers a unique insider's view
of the exciting synergies that came from combining genetics and
psychology. The paperback edition has a new afterword by the
author.
