Effect of Genetics on Health
The podcast discusses the misconceptions surrounding genetic determinism, revealing that the presence of disease in one twin does not necessarily mean the other twin will develop it. Research findings show varied probabilities of disease manifestation in identical twins, such as a 5% likelihood of Parkinson's, 50% for heart disease, and 35 to 40% for most cancers, challenging the notion of genetic determinism.
