+====== Genetics ======
+My understanding of <dfn>genetics</dfn> mostly comes from the internet, but I'll try to summarize the way I understand it.
+<div passage>
+Generally, genetics determine a lot about a person. This doesn't just include physical traits, but neurological traits. However, it's not entirely clear exactly where the line is between “stuff you learn” and “stuff you inherit”.
+Some genes can be ‘activated’ (meaning you're experiencing their effects now) and ‘deactivated’ (which means they're effectively turned off). Some genes are activated while you're being constructed in the womb, while others can be activated during life.
+I don't know an example of something that you can’t activate during life, but one thing I //am// aware of is Schizophrenia, which you can accidentally activate if you smoke weed or do drugs... and you also happen to have the corresponding genes. One way of telling whether you have this or not is to check whether your family has a history of schizophrenia or not.
+Incest can also have an effect in activating genes, though inbreeding mostly has negative effects.

+Although people don't really want to talk about it, [[lb:eugenics]] is entirely possible, though we don't know the consequences of doing so. It's probably a better idea to leave that alone. At least for now.
