Новинки Роберта Пломина

Обществом управляет генетическая элита, чей статус неоспорим, ведь он записан в ДНК… Что вы почувствуете, если узнаете, что это не начало очередной антиутопии, а прогноз нашего с вами будущего от одного из виднейших психогенетиков планеты, Роберта Пломина, утверждающего, что наследуемые различия в ДНК — это главная систематическая сила, определяющая, кто мы такие? Готовы ли вы встретиться лицом к лицу с фактом, что у вашей жизни есть план, составленный и записанный вашими генами еще до вашего рождения? Эта книга не просто сенсация, она — революция. «Я ждал 30 лет, прежде чем решился написать эту книгу. В оправдание, почему не сделал…

The blueprint for our individuality lies in the 1% of DNA that differs between people. Our intellectual capacity, our introversion or extraversion, our vulnerability to mental illness, even whether we are a morning person - all of these aspects of our personality are profoundly shaped by our inherited DNA differences.

In Blueprint, Robert Plomin, a pioneer in the field of behavioural genetics, draws on a lifetime's worth of research to make the case that DNA is the most important factor shaping who we are. Our families, schools and the environment around us are important, but they are not as influential as our genes. This is why, he argues, teachers and parents should accept children for who they are, rather than trying to mould them in certain directions. Even the environments we choose and the signal events that impact our lives, from divorce to addiction, are influenced by our genetic predispositions. Now, thanks to the DNA revolution, it is becoming possible to predict who we will become, at birth, from our DNA alone. As Plomin shows us, these developments have sweeping implications for how we think about parenting, education, and social mobility.

A game-changing book by a leader in the field, Blueprint shows how the DNA present in the single cell with which we all begin our lives can impact our behaviour as adults.

Експерт у галузі генетики поведінки Роберт Пломін розповідає, як сучасна наукова революція перетворила ДНК на інструмент, що дає змогу прогнозувати сильні та слабкі сторони людини від самого її народження. Генетичні дослідження засвідчили, що відмінності ДНК, успадковані від батьків, є тим чинником, що визначає нашу психологічну індивідуальність протягом усього життя, це генеральний план, який робить нас тими, ким ми є.
За словами автора, нові уявлення про генетику кардинально змінюють ситуацію. Генетика у значно більшій мірі обумовлює психологічні особливості людини, ніж інші фактори разом узяті. Саме від неї на 50% залежать наші характерні відмінності — не тільки психічне здоров’я чи, скажімо, здатність до навчання, а й усі психологічні риси, що роблять нас особистостями, визначають наші інтелектуальні здібності. Природа, а не виховання, робить нас тими, ким ми є.
