You must have missed this in my first post to you....

-Generally, geneticists settle for some genetic influence
of rather undefined degree, most
agreeing that many genes (from at least five or six to many hundreds) contribute to any
particular human behavior.-

The point they’re trying to make,it seems,is genetic influence is not genetic determination.

Of course, and it’s always complex. I don’t believe homosexuality is genetic (altho things that allow someone to lean that way may well be). However, many behaviors likely ARE genetic, and that was the only point I was making.
