Has anyone read the article "What maketh a man?" from the November issue of DISCOVER magazine? I was amazed at the difference between the identical twins after a life apart. They look nothing alike...even their facial features differ. This made me rethink my views on whether genetics overpower environmental influences. Perhaps it's more environmental and some switches in our genes can either be turned on or off depending on what we're exposed to during our development. So what do you guys think?

i believe envioremental factors have a much greater impact then genetics.

just think of twins seperated at birth each living in totally different enviorements in different socioeconomic classes...

rest assured they will have very little in common other than phsyical appearance.
