or are you literally putting your fingers in your ears yelling "nuh uh!!" ?
No, i'm not, because there is no gain from it. Talk here is not going to change my side of the world, so waste my time with my finger in my ears is not a good hobby. If i talk here, is to talk, read, share and know.
You talk about theories like if are fact, but the more i read about it, the more i find only theories and study about the topic.
A theory is a theory, until the science will find a real answer and will say "We got the final theory", pretty much like happens in math, astrology, phisic or other things.
You should wait before call it truth. You can have your personal opinion though, just as i have mine.

Aya. Bad thing the comfort, it lower the need of instict. XD
Brain can be trained and the key to train it is "do i need this for survival?"
That's why he can learn more than one language. He think he needs it when he uses it daily.
Is pretty much like buy a standard pc. You can have windows or mac on the same machine. "Train" the System and you'll have a good pc.
The fact that a person can Change, means that what the brain learn is more important than what the brain have in the beginning.
If the dna is there to mess up things, that person can change his brain enough to turn the dna imprinting into a harmless 1%.
You and me can learn the same things and can THINK the same things. We don't because we don't share the same training. Most of the english native speaker can't talk another language. They just don't need it, so they will find it harder to do it.
This won't mean they can't learn it or they have a genetic brain problem with it.
Their dna is not enough relevant to prevent them from learn it, when they find it usefull.
So, focus on dna or not, is ineffective, since one could change a person mentality with the knowledge or propaganda.
I can't really see why you people rely so much on it.
it is an ongoing theory with lots of contradictory study about how much, when, why, where.
And if it is true, life itself proof is not that relevant and that learning and environment play the main role.
Is an easy way to justify anything, but that's just it. An easy way to avoid a deeper analysis of a problem.
If you're talking about psichology discipline, then there could be a problem, since the psicho itself say that everything about it is a delicate theory and doesn't have to be take as true.
Doctor itself will confirm this.
