How much of our behavior is genetic?

[Anonymous]

I have stories I could tell but I'll just say Indians seem to be natural liars and scammers.

Blacks tend to be more violent.

White people tend to be more emotionally unstable, one second a genuine friend and the next second they're using you for something.

And Latinos tend to be just happier people who don't worry about how rhe world works.

A lot / most

Not much

I voted a lot before reading the body of your question. Race is not something that impacts any particular trait the same way across the board, physically or mentally. This has been disproven for years, but continues to be propagated by people who don’t know what they’re talking about. It’s literally something that can be disproven by a simple Google search. Stop perpetuating this racist belief.

I dont care about your "proof" that goes against what we see and experience with our own eyes.

You have to be trolling lmao. But if you’re not, your opinion is invalidated did not willing to entertain the other side, especially when it has scientific backing.

[Asker]

First of all, Science begins with direct observation. If experiments conflict with common experience, common sense, it's bullshit science.

[Asker]

Just the fact there are different breeds of dogs with different traits is enough to fucking tell you that human racial differences are veweren't.

And what a scary world it'd be if they werent. You'd have to think about every little thing instead of go by instinct and feel.

Well, it's an interesting question, but how would you parse out the effects of environment?

[Asker]

Probably by selecting the genes that fit the environment. For some reason scamming and lying is a successful way to live in India. Probably because hard work led to physical exhaustion in the intense heat of India. Whereas hard work in the coolness of Europe did nothing but invigorate the body even more, and give you vitamin D

Not a whole lot but that genetic behavior is often the foundation for the rest of the learned behaviors.
