So where do the physical differences come from, if not genetics? Unconscious force of will? Do chinese couples, for example, simply expect that their baby will look chinese, and therefore subconsciously determine the infant's future physical characteristics? How novel. If we had known that earlier, we'd all have hypnotized ourselves to produce progeny with high-powered immune systems and supermodel looks.


Sheesh.

I think the gist of the article is that natural selection processes actually determine more what we turn out to be than our so called "genetics"....

an Asian couple are going to produce an Asian looking kid....

If you grew up in an Italian area, you might very well subconciously be looking for an Italian looking spouse....
