Nature dominates Nurture

Read a pretty interesting article: Pas de Deux of Sexuality Is Written in the Genes

Couple of days ago, I wrote about how politics, as a social behavior, could be driven by physical desire and is not confined in human only. This article seems to have just de-constructed the mystical emotion called love. The article seems pretty banal but that is because from scientists’ view, love itself is pretty banal.

Not much to add, just to say it confirms many things I kind of suspected/assumed/accepted: too much of man is writte0n in his genes. The irony is, if one wants to overcome any genetic deficiency and succeeds, it is probably because one has a “perseverance gene”. So much for the much philosophized “free will“.
