Document Summary
Genes have a potential in anything - height, intelligence, etc. But environment contributes the degree to which you fully maximize the gene"s intelligence. Social potency is high in genetics (61%), and social closeness is lower in genetics (33%) If you have an identical twin with schizophrenia you have a very high chance of also getting it. People who are predisposed to schizophrenia don"t always get it! It could be just one thing that triggers your genes to develop schizophrenia. Study identifying twin pairs who never knew each other but have extreme similarities. Jim twins were so similar that both of their wives" names were linda first, then. They also both worked with wood and loved miller light. they were both deputy sheriffs. They had different parents and different homes after they were born and then met when they were 39. Twins growing up in different homes overall were just as similar as those who lived in homes together.
