[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 73032, member: 544"] I follow what you're saying. It's a very complicated issue and I don't feel modernity has done our children any favors with modern technology and modern work grind. That's where epigenetics comes in. It's not just about stress and cortisol. It's about your body literally changing which genes get expressed based on what you're exposed to. Like if you grow up around music or tools or animals, your body can actually adjust to make you more receptive to those things. Not saying you magically inherit skill but your interest and ability to learn can get a boost because your biology shifts to match your environment. And here's a wild one there's research linking epigenetics to homosexuality. Like it's not just a gene you get from your parents, it's about how certain marks get passed down or triggered in the womb. So yeah epigenetics is doing a lot more than just stress responses. It's shaping what you're into, what you avoid, even who you bang. That's why the stuff you're saying about aptitudes being baked in; it's not just psychological, it's physical. That being said parents, there behavior and habits influence so much about how a human grows up. Make or break. Tldr :if epigenetics can influence something as fundamental as who you're attracted to, then of course it can shape your aptitudes, your interests, your coping strategies, your whole damn personality.
