Quotes by Robert Plomin

“Genetics is the major reason why people differ in personality, mental health and illness, and learning and cognitive abilities. In essence, the most important thing that parents give to their children is their genes. Your parents' systematic influence on who you are lies within the genes they gave you.”
― Robert Plomin, Blueprint: How DNA makes us who we are

“Genetics, not lack of willpower, is the major reason why people differ in BMI. Success and failure, credit and blame, in overcoming problems should be calibrated relative to genetic strengths and weaknesses.”

“Vid en första anblick framstår genetik och jämlikhet som varandras motsatser, eftersom genetiken strider mot den princip som man finner i den andra meningen i USA:s självständighetsdeklaration från 1776, nämligen att alla människor är skapade lika. ... Men "lika möjligheter" är återigen inte samma sak som identiska sådana. ... Demokratins själva essens är att alla ska behandlas rättvist trots att de är olika.”
