If so, why hasn't the condition disappeared? The answer obviously is that schizophrenia is predominantly caused by environmental effects rather than genetic effects, same as bullet wounds. Besides, this discussion is off topic not to say completely amateur and boring. ======================================== GEORGE HAMMOND'S PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE Primary site http://webspace.webring.com/people/eg/george_hammond Mirror site http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com HAMMOND FOLK SONG by Casey Bennetto http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 =======================================

Roughly speaking personality is probably, in my opinion, 60% "Nature" and 40% "Nurture". This means that you could easily have identical twins with inimical personalities. Take left-right brain lateralization for instance. This causes the Republican-Democrat personality divide. I'm sure you can find many identical twins who are registered in the opposite political party, just as you can find many brothers who were on opposite sides of the Civil War. If you have taken the time to look at hundreds of photographs of identical twins as I have, you can easily see a noticeable difference in the two personalities. usually one of the twins is dominant over the other, despite their genetic identity. the dominant twin tends to be more right wing or right brain dominant wildly subordinate twin tends to be more left-wing or left brained dominant. this has been known for thousands of years, you can even find it in the Old Testament. in the New Testament, Jesus says " don't let the right hand know what the left hand is doing". this fact is as old as the hills. ======================================== GEORGE HAMMOND'S PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE Primary site http://webspace.webring.com/people/eg/george_hammond Mirror site http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com HAMMOND FOLK SONG by Casey Bennetto http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 =======================================
