Sorry, bub, you'll have to prove that to me.

Just as there are animals bred for particular characteristics and
behaviors, so humans, although not necessarily bred for it, are likely
to develop, too. This is not to say that behaviors cannot at all be
affected by learning and training, far from it, but genetics and
epigenetics play big parts in personality, action and reaction.

Go read up on a few twin studies and come back to talk. And that is
just a start.
