ANECDOTE

Expectation vs. Genes

💨 A study split participants into two groups, each with people who had and didn't have a gene for efficient CO2 expulsion. 🥇 Group A was told they did have the gene, while Group B was told they didn't. 🤯 Group A outperformed Group B, even those in Group A without the gene outperformed those in Group B with it. 🧠 This demonstrates how expectations can be more powerful than genes.

This anecdote describes a study where participants were grouped based on a gene related to breathing efficiency. One group was told they possessed the gene, while the other was told they didn't. The results highlighted the power of expectation, as the group believing they had the gene outperformed the other, regardless of actual genetic makeup.
