minus-square∟⊔⊤∦∣≶@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoStrange, almost like phenotype is dependent on genotype?
minus-squareAzzu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoYou’re telling me people whose genetics make them look similar have similar genetics???
minus-squarelazynooblet@lazysoci.allinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoDoes that mean you could guess a person’s personality from just their look?

minus-squareFudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoOf course you’d say that. You have the brainpan of a stagecoach tilter!

minus-squareparaphrand@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoNot proven until now. These “duh” comments are always here in these situations.
minus-squareAzzu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoWe’re just joking around here my friend :) of course it’s important to confirm, still funny every time
minus-squareparaphrand@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI hope so, that’s good to hear. Some people seem so pissed off when making such comments about “useless” studies. 😔
minus-squareAzzu@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoPeople in text always sound more pissed off than they were. That mostly has to do with your expectations though ;)
minus-squarefartographer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoYou think this sounds angry???
minus-squarefartographer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agosorry. I thought I was being friendly. Perhaps you’d prefer periods as my punctuation. I hope you’re happy.
minus-squarechuckleslord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoYes, but it’s not necessarily the only way that would work. So this is very neat!
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoIt is still interesting. I wonder if epigenetics plays a larger role, or if face look is tied to other random traits.
minus-squareangrystego@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoThe article says epigenetics don’t play much of a role in it, it’s all genetics.
minus-squareangrystego@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoIt seems this includes genes that don’t play a direct role in the formation of facial features.
