Genetic Quotes

Genetic studies in Iceland have found that many of the women who were the founding stock of Iceland came from England and what is now France. Some were probably captured and carried off in Viking raids only 40 generations ago. Keith Henson
John M. Smith quote: "Genetics is about how information is stored and transmitted..."
Genetics is about how information is stored and transmitted between generations. John M. Smith
Leon Kass quote: "Genetics is crude, but neuroscience goes directly to work on..."
Genetics is crude, but neuroscience goes directly to work on the brain, and the mind follows. Leon Kass
Aidan Quinn quote: "Genetics play a huge part in who we are. But we also have free..."
Genetics play a huge part in who we are. But we also have free will. Aidan Quinn
Allen Tate quote: "Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically..."
Genetic theories, I gather, have been cherished academically with detachment. Allen Tate
...every new genetically engineered plant is a unique event in nature, bringing its own set of genetic contingencies. This means that the reliability or safety of one genetically modified plant doesn't necessarily guarantee the reliability or safety of the next. Michael Pollan
Evolution is not a genetically controlled distortion of one adult form into another; it is a genetically controlled alteration in a developmental program. Richard Dawkins
Most of us become so rigidly fixed in the ruts carved out by genetic programming and social conditioning that we ignore the options of choosing any other course of action. Living exclusively by genetic and social instructions is fine as long as everything goes well. But the moment bioloical or social goals are frustrated- which in the long run is inevitable - a person must formulate new goals, and create a new flow activity for himself, or else he will always waste his energies in inner turmoil. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
It seems likely that most if not all the genetic information in any organism is carried by nucleic acid - usually by DNA, although certain small viruses use RNA as their genetic material. Francis Crick
People say their weight is genetic. But it turns out that people who are overweight don't just have overweight kids. They also have overweight pets. That's not genetic. Mehmet Oz
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code. Stephen Hawking
It's perfectly obvious that there is some genetic factor that distinguishes humans from other animals and that it is language-specific. The theory of that genetic component, whatever it turns out to be, is what is called universal grammar. Noam Chomsky
I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway. James Lovelock
Me and the folks who buy my food are like the Indians -- we just want to opt out. That's all the Indians ever wanted -- to keep their tepees, to give their kids herbs instead of patent medicines and leeches. They didn't care if there was a Washington, D.C., or a Custer or a USDA; just leave us alone. But the Western mind can't bear an opt-out option. We're going to have to refight the Battle of the Little Big Horn to preserve the right to opt out, or your grandchildren and mine will have... Michael Pollan
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "There is no evidence against genetic determinism more..."
There is no evidence against genetic determinism more persuasive than the children of the rich. Jeffrey Eugenides
