You can have genetically identical siblings. They have the same genome. They lay right next to each other in the womb. They’re born, and at the moment they’re born, they’re already different. Before any experience has accrued at all. Why shouldn’t they be just the same?
This question and more are discussed in today’s episode on individuality, variability, heritability and epigenetics.
Our guest is David Linden. He is a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University. He is also at the Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute. His most recent book is Unique: The New Science of Human Individuality.
