? Personality doesn't only come from genes. In nature/nurture, genes are mostly 'tendencies', or recipe's and needs to be activated by environment. In the West, environment - nurture - are usually dismissed, and peoples behaviour is deemed 'nature' - 'who they are', but that is untrue, cruel and just a relic from current anti-scientific ideological claims. You can guess which ideology currently shames, and harass people deemed 'not good enough' as they are. It allows any elite establishment to jail and mistreat people bc 'they just ARE bad', and ignore the environment that led them to behave that way. Every prisoner are a prisoner bco environment, and bc the elite believe in what is convenient. We are NOT our genes, and general behaviour is much more associated with nurture after the initial fast development. Twins had the ~same environment until birth, so are very alike later. However, any ideology/religion that fail to include environment in behaviour, will have the same problem.
In short: every time we experience something, our genes get enabled/disabled accordingly. No neuron or cell stays the same in all environments, or throughout our lives. We even get behaviour from how our parents felt in their environment when they fucked us into existence.
Besides, genes are just accumulated environmental influences, so in the big picture all behaviour is really just environment.
