DNA is so extremely precise they feel comfortable reporting that fucking 200-years-dead Beethoven was "supposed to be bad at music" because of a DNA sequencing, but genetics have absolutely zero nothing nada zilch to do with any other human behaviors, right? Don't fly to close to the sun, now!
The most unexpected part of this brief read is that they actually acknowledge that Beethoven was a very gifted musician instead of trying to downplay it and enforce their own data as infallible. What an odd thing to be researching.
Genetics is everything until it isn't.
I honestly thought this would be another “he was really black” story
I was anticipated that as well or some other kind of shenanigans.
genetics stops at the neck!
