I experienced this in people I know. A large family that has a huge influence in my neighborhood had a family member who put a child up for adoption. This child was raised in Wisconsin while his blood family lived in southern New Hampshire. Being raised in a different environment you would think that child would be different from his distant family but he grew up a mirror image of his distant kin. Ultimately this child married and ended up in southern New Hampshire and he found the root his behavior in his blood family that he didn’t find in his adoptive family.

A wonderful and highly competent description of what causes differences in humans´ traits. Individual differences are caused by inherited DNA. Nature vs. Nurture is now discussed with a new twist (especially in Psychology).
99% of DNA in all human beings is similar. The 1 % defines the endless differences among individuals. Behavioral Genetics today plays a key role in understanding individuals´ capabilities and inabilities/flaws, in behavioral patterns (psychology) and physiologically (bones etc...): Yes, every trait is inheritable.
The new genetic research perspective acccording to Mr. Plomin is finding the genes which cause certain behaviors so to be able to predict certain life occurences (propensities, illnesses) and help the individual and society to solve related events to occur and reducing pain and cost (making individual predictions about problems and how to prevent them).
And dive much deeper in understanding how nature and nurture interact...
Mr. Plomin did not address what the possible downside of this research could look like, especially with view to the ethical ramifications. Maybe there is a different video where he explains these issues.

Everything that the speaker said was so cool~ This video was recommended to me by my Physiological Psychology professor and Im so thankful for it.

[@JahTzu]

A much needed message! I would love to hear him speak more on epigenetics. Also how studies involving mice in bad enviroments, developed a genetic markers of malfunction as generations passed, but when placed back into optimal environments, they flurished being above average. I believe this corelates to data show olimpions come from harder environments also genetics, but in somehow finding support shined. it's like a gene can be bad, but turned off, be an asset?

Beautifully articulated

[@drkurlyk]

Brilliant video. Thank you for sharing such content.

[@hamid_vega]

Hi! I really loved the video. Dr. Plomin is the clearest person to explain behavioral genetic. I'd like to show his video to my med students. I can do the translation from English to Spanish. Is this possible? How can I do it? Thanks!

[@SeriousScience]

Hi! So sorry for the delayed response. Glad that you loved the video. For the translation, could you please email us on [e-mail] so we could discuss how to arrange it?

[@david_heffner]

I don't think we need to bash Psychologists; they were after the same question geneticists were: is it nature or nurture? I'm sure a lot of them are grateful for this discovery.

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

First time I see Plomin talk. He actually looks like the guy behind his science.

Don’t judge a book by its cover

[@offmeds2nite]

wonderfully put.

[@jameseldridge3445]

I think Eastern countries are homogeneous, therefore they embrace genetics. Western countries are heterogeneous, so this study is controversial, as knowing groups are scientifically different will cause many frustrations and disagreements

R1a dna lineage i dont think would cause any frustrations

adopted kids were usually placed in a similar environments of their birth parents

[@alexgrey2088]

Awesome

[@samizdat113]

It's only take science how long to figure out what most people have known since the beginning of time?

[@doglabdogtraining-gus.8873]

my experience is different , I thought most people always thought that genes were everything and now we are changing our minds, but this guys says is the other way around. what do you know

[@charliedong4179]

whats good stefanek bois

[@leonardkool7576]

Nice vid

[@platoscavealum902]

👍

[@chrishillswrites6442]

but you only got proof that there is hereditary correlations, right? You don't have specific genes you can name as the cause for specific behaviours, right?

[@comdrive3865]

I hate how my genes chose schizophrenia

[@villiestephanov984]

We were educated in biology. Your children are learning anathomy. The 1% generic is our evolution by inheritance. Not much studying on bones there :)

[@smin4089]

Why wont scientists address racial differences tho

[@patrickholtz]

Because, although there are 'social races', there are not biological races in humans, as shown in this study: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369848613000460

[@AzureSymbiote]

Too hot of a topic. But quite a few do touch upon the subject.

[@Bellantoni]

@@patrickholtz Races are not biological but social? Tell that to the 23andMe/Ancestry.com people.
You've just restated "Lewontin's Fallacy" and cited a paper in a journal about the history and philosophy of science.

How do you define race
