Associate Professor in Genetics and Neuroscience Kevin Mitchell discusses the science behind how characteristics such as sociability, aggression and narcissism are more nature and less nurture. We don't mould our children as much as we think we do, scientifically speaking. He touches on genomic prediction in fetuses and how companies are cashing in on the public's desire to test their own.
