I believe the genes are resposible for the color of eyes and maybe some reflexes but no values, like race prejudice is learned. Greed is generated by scarcity. Some geneticists were looking for the Republican gene; I don't think there is such a thing. I think that a Republican is raised in a Republican environment and picks up the views. I believe that environment is mostly responsible for human values and behavior. The genes do not control anything except maybe your taste buds, your reflexes, the eyelid reflex, or the genetic configuration, but the genes do not control values.
