About this episode

Robert Plomin discusses the impact of genetics on identity and the limited role of parenting and schooling.

Robert Plomin talks with Alex Buxeda about 50 years of behavioral genetics research showing that your parents didn’t make who you are, and your school didn’t either. Who you become is strongly influenced by something set at conception: your DNA.
