Discussion:
DNA and Personalities
I would agree that although DNA may offer some small contribution to our personalities, environment and other external factors truly shape who we are. Even though my interaction with my aunts were limited when I was younger and now I don't speak to them much at all anymore, I do have characteristics in common with them. As a child we are constantly absorbing so much information, I would think it's impossible to not think even the smallest of interaction would influence our personalities. I don't know anyone who has been adopted, but I wonder if being adopted at birth, would a child act like their biological parents in any way? Is there evidence of that?
