But then talking about height, my best friend's daughter is particularly tall; while neither parent is tall, more towards being short than average, and at 10 years old the girl is as tall as the mother. Or look at me, my father looked like Sean Connery and I'm more like a Picasso painting.
My dad was tall because his uncles were tall. Simple. Now wildly different features and all comes from a mut genetic background, and the luck of the draw.

What we learn, how smart we are, what we do with/about life experiences... I don't think genetics could effect any of that much at all.
I disagree with this.
1. twins often (most always? - I forget) exhibit tendencies toward the same things and ends in life.
2. more fundamentally: certain psychological characteristics (while they may not be recognized, or those observing may not want to recognize them) show up very early, like how much of certain things someone can take/handle in life - which is why most people suffere PTSD after combat...or well, just at all if they're rejected by others. The inability of humans at large to be(come) emotionally autonomous severely argues this point.
Scifi frauds. SF illuminates.
