But what does it mean? I can't find it in the Urban dictionary.
valich and Glenn said:To sum up all the above posts. I think nobody is arguing the fact that:
Phenotype = Genotype + Environment
Jesus christ how many time are we gonna dive into this topic my man. You are getting it wrong. Fuckin DNA and all that stuff came from the Fuckin sheezny enviroment. The human I.Q is largely higher than animals thanks to the enviroment...NOT that genes themselves are concious enough. The subset is always a function of the set. The greatest influence on a child is his parents. A bad pit bull is a result of bad owners. Computers don't switch on and compute data without input. George Bush ain't going to leave Iraq without consenting his cabinet. And Linsay Lohan is hot. Genes are a function of Enviroment, both biologicaly and socio culturally, face it.
No one, as far as I know, is saying that genes are not a function of environment.
if the above is the general conclusion so far, phenotype = genotype + environment, why is it then of such an importance to some to emphasize the priority of genotype?
What is the difference?There is a difference between the environmental factors that created an animal's genome and the environmental factors an organism finds itself in
the potential for high IQ is inherited.
it will never be realised without the proper nutrition and environment.
What is the difference?
even a moron like me realises the importance of environment as it relates to IQ.
without the right environment the genes are worthless.
the answer to the question of "is IQ inherited" is quite simply no.
Thats certainly debatable.Denying reproductive rights to those who have hereditary diseases is discrimination
No it's not...that's definitely discrimination.Facial
Thats certainly debatable.
discrimination against the individual, but certainly not against mankind, and last I checked the preservation of the culture is paramount against the individual. What would you rather? A few people carring deformative diseases that could further develop and spread into the human race? Would you have an HIV or autistic patient give birth?
