Is the spate of gene discoveries fueling a resurgence of biological determinism, the belief that human behavior is largely determined by genes? 5. Only one gene determines if one is born male or female, a pretty meaningful difference. 6. Plomin and his colleagues said they were well aware of the potential for abuse of their finding, such as discriminative genetic screening and assertions that genes determine everything. 7.
