Nature or nurture: can genes shape our behaviour? – podcast

In a discussion about the interplay between genes and behavior, Kathryn Paige Harden, a behavioral geneticist, explores whether our genetic makeup could predispose us to risk-taking, antisocial behavior, or even violence. Her book, "Original Sin," delves into how both genetic and environmental factors influence our likelihood of committing crimes. This exploration raises important questions about accountability and the 'cause' behind our actions, suggesting that understanding the balance between nature and nurture could reshape how we view human behavior.
