Genes....
I am back, back from the country of my origin and straight back to the grindstone. Travelling and seeing the monuments that have existed for some 450 years or more has left me in awe of the rich culture and heritage which bore my roots, it has been a humbling and soul satisfying journey.
To experience the full extent of tradition that has shaped our behaviour and thinking is something to experience. It makes plain my own mindset and explains my certain rather odd behaviours and or quirks, which are, in my opinion, somewhat inherent in my genetic programming having evolved over hundreds of years.
The inherent business acumen that is prevalent of Indians throughout the world, proof being given by the economic contribution of the Indian populations in countries across the world. The love for congregating with family and other figures of society, the love of spicy good home made food, the tendency to look for the best value for money item and the look and feel of most areas where the Indian community tends to congregate. All these part of our genetic programming.
And why not, according to Darwinist's, the idea of evolution or rather more subtlely "natural selection", is an organisms ability to change and adjust to its environment, so why not human beings? It is therefore quite conceivable that, the various different races in the world, like Indians, have a genetic signature.
This would explain how it is, that even though people are largely influenced by the country they are raised in, they maintain certain behaviours. Very much like the cat, even though domesticated, retains its certain behaviours that causes the cat to shred all the house hold furniture and pounce on any moving limb and or item that triggers the behaviour. If anyone manages to find a solution to this and other cat behaviours give me a shout.
So being part of a race merely indicates that we have inherited a set of genetic traits that, no matter how sophisticated the conditioning, we will always tend to demonstrate.
No humans, animals or plants were harmed in the formulation of this blog ;-)
