The First Rule The first rule of behavioural genetics is that every trait is heritable. What makes us different is about 1 per cent of our entire genetic code. The other 99 per cent codes for things like brains, heads, proteins, ears, and bipedalism (ability to walk upright), the things that make us human. The other single per cent contains those DNA differences that make us who we are. This single DNA percentage has the most far reaching impact on social, economic, and psychological differences between us.
