tl;dr.

My yx chromosomes and Mrs. George's xx chromosomes say that I am, indeed, a biologist. So does my undergraduate degree. But, that was 50 years ago, so YMMV.

I apologize for my premature post (cheap scotch, you know).

I have no dependent knowledge of my genetic makeup, nor that of Mrs. George.

Sorry about that.

I think the motivation is to promote epigenenetics so that group differences in outcomes can be blamed on historic oppression even generations after such oppression ceases.

Basically an updated Lysenkoism. Seems to be the choice of the ideologues across time and geography.
