[QUOTE="ElscottHavoc, post: 14002457, member: 93145"] I think its social exposure that forms interests, hobbies and activities, not genetics - that and perhaps a bit of expectation on parents and peers. Parents, naturally, have a tendency to expose their children - often at a very young age - to their hobbies and interests. Anyone with children knows tiny brains learn very well, and so if you imply drumming to a baby and reinforce drumming as they grow, they'll start to pick up those musical talents just like they learn to do many things by watching you. A child born of two Chinese speaking parents, but adopted by English speaking Americans will learn English because that's what the child is exposed to and language isn't genetic, else such babies would have a natural bilingual ability. Now, as the child grows and realizes he's genetically different from the vast majority of Caucasian Americans, it might cause him to develop an interest in his heritage and Chinese culture, but that interest stems from genetics - not specifically of genetics. Furthermore, as a child ages, they often have a desireto be "just like mommy" or "just like daddy". They want to be loved and they want to love, and so if daddy enjoys cars, then the kid will probably want to enjoy cars too except perhaps in instances where opposing gender stereotypes might lead a boy to not enjoy his moms hobbies and a young girl is likely to be interested in dolls over cars. That said, because the girl has been exposed to cars she'll obviously have a better, even if only basic, understanding above her friends. The other you notice is that society often implies a level of expertise that sometimes doesn't exist simply because a parent excelled. I see this a lot in sports. You'll have kids with tons of talent sitting on the sideline because another kids dad was All State Running back. Often, since his dad was All-State, the kid is generally physical and talented too, but sometimes that talent gets exaggerated by means of association.
