The Role of Genetics in Shaping Our Decisions.

Studies are starting to reveal new connections between our genetic code and our life choices, raising the question of how much our behaviour is pre-determined by our underlying biology. Genetics play a role in our inclinations or aversions for different activities, and even our natural aptitude for certain hobbies. Our personality traits, such as how extroverted or introverted, conscientious, agreeable, impulsive, and creative we are, also have some kind of genetic component. However, the environment we find ourselves in plays a huge role in determining whether we act on our genetic inclinations or not.
