The Misperception of Polygenic Traits

It's a bit more like a you use a manual than a blueprint I don't know that's not a very good analogy either. Basically the genes are expressed in certain contexts right when when the right environment when the right environmental stimuli are present and when there's the right interaction of other genes. And so it's not yeah it's not a sort of linear as as a blueprint where it's just well I suppose there are some very basic genes that are nearly always expressed but for the most part there's a great deal of variation.
