Hogwash. (And that's the most repectful term I can come up with.) Culture has absolutely nothing to do with genetics. If you drop a Swedish infant into the middle of South Korea, in 18 years you'll have a blond haired, blue eyed Korean; not a Swede. Culture is learned.

If you drop a baby Michael Jordan into Korea, in 18 years you'll probably have a pretty good basketball player. If you dropped a baby Bill Gates into Michael Jordan's crib, you'd have someone who was bright, but not so good at basketball, despite the culture of being raised in Michael Jordan's crib.
