It has often been said that genetics shape our personality a lot. Although, there are others who claim that genetic-based traits can be replaced with new learned ones, as one grows up. To what extent is this possible? Have you come across instances of either? Thanks,

Back to the nature or nurture question.. I credit people with more brain than genes we can if we want to make the changes we want in terms of behavior.

I think genetics gives us materials, but nurture takes those materials and forms them into things.
