This is honestly fascinating. It's obviously not true, just by taking into account the consequences of it being actually true.

Am I missing something? The study says, at some point "We would essentially be the same person if we had been adopted at birth and raised in a different family.".

Are they limiting this to the genetic composition of a person? It seems they refer to the character, behaviour, overall identity... which to me sounds unbelievably absurd.

I mean, being raised by a single mom vs. being raised by an Army dad MUST introduce some differences, right? And what about all the studies about the consequences of father absence? Oh, all criminals were going to be criminals regardless?

Come on.
