Interesting article, Mr Jack.
Had trouble with the url links, but don't think it's your fault -- they were okay when I copied them from {{peek}} and pasted to open -- unless it is just the quotes on the urls (not needed):
See
The three laws of behavioural genetics
and
Brown's list of human universals
without quotes.
It might be a glitch for percy to look into: I get a
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded

message. Or it just may be my browser ...
(the second site's list is not reader friendly imho with the reverse justification of the columns, and it seems a little repetitious in order to make fine distinctions where a shorter broader list may be more effective. I only need one magic on the list for example.)
If 50% of the variation in behavior is due to the genetic variation in individuals, what is the other 50% ? conscious thought? wouldn't this be more of a bell curve type effect?
