520 ^aDNA does not make us who we are. Journalist David Shenkdebunks the long-standing notion of genetic ^"giftedness, ^"and presents new scientific research showing how greatnessis in the reach of every individual. Integrating cutting-edge research from a wide swath of disciplines, Shenk maintains the problem isn^'t our inadequate genetic assets,but our inability, so far, to tap into what we already have. IQ testing and widespread acceptance of ^"innate^" abilities have created an unnecessarily pessimistic view--and fostered much misdirected public education policy. Thetruth is much more exciting: our individual destinies are a product of the complex interplay between genes and outside stimuli--a dynamic that we, as people and as parents, can influence. |
