Summary:
"In
Blueprint
, behavioral geneticist Robert Plomin describes
how
the
DNA
revolution has made
DNA
personal by giving
us
the power to predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. A century of genetic research shows that
DNA
differences inherited from our parents are the consistent life-long sources of our psychological individuality—the
blueprint
that
makes
us
who
we
are. This, says Plomin, is a game changer. Plomin has been working on these issues for almost fifty years, conducting longitudinal studies of twins and adoptees. He reports that genetics explains more of the psychological differences among people than all other factors combined. Genetics accounts for fifty percent of psychological differences—not just mental health and school achievement but all psychological traits, from personality to intellectual abilities. Nature, not nurture is what
makes
us
who
we
are. Plomin explores the implications of this, drawing some provocative conclusions—among them that parenting styles don't really affect children's outcomes once genetics is taken into effect. Neither tiger mothers nor attachment parenting affects children's ability to get into Harvard. After describing why
DNA
matters, Plomin explains what
DNA
does, offering readers a unique insider's view of the exciting synergies that came from combining genetics and psychology."--From publisher.
