Again, prove it. The development of the brain has many factors, starting with the mom's diet during the pregnancy and going on with what kind of toys the baby had. Genes are only part of it. Just because some characteristics have - like, say, a gift for numbers - have no clear source doesn't mean they're determined entirely by genes. Many people know who Pierre and Mary Curie were. Who can name their kids off the top of their heads?

The idea of left brained, right brained is not completely nuture either. Studies shows that it is genetical differences what will causes children to use the left side or right side of their brain which will determine whether they're inately better at the arts or more stuctured things like math and science.

I didn't say genes play no part. I said Dully staked too much on them, and that what kind of person someone is, rather than what genetic code he or she has, is what should be looked at. And that the Destiny Plan should first have been tested in a way that didn't cost so much, and wouldn't have had such terrible consequences if it turned out to be rubbish.

Instead of me proving it, you prove me wrong.

You're making the extraordinary claim here , that genes determine us to such an extent one can choose jobs based solely on the one's genotype.

Ever heard of that female ski champion who, decades after the fact, got disqualified because she turned out to have XY chromosomes, but due to some kind of accident during foetal development grew up as a girl? Genes can't even safely determine our genders and we're supposed to trust them to say who should do what? Who will be the leaders?

And yet we have methods and systems installed to deal with criminals. The justice system (however ineffecient) is based on the idea of reforming criminals so that they can become productive law abiding members of society

The fact we have criminals at all show the limits of society's control over individuals. Doubly so for repeat offenders.
