There are no genes for psychology.
But for curing sickness, yes, pretty much
There are no genes for psychology...YET!
But seriously, there are genes that affect a person's psychology.
I'll agree if the human psychology is merely "done" by genetics.
That if we even have a map of the genes with respect to psychological function.

Quote:The current prevailing genetic evidence seems to suggest that we actually don't have genes for personality. And this conclusion doesn't come from a lack of trying: The US government has spent billions on genetic research. Billions. BILLIONS!!! When I think about all the money that went into this "gene for" research, I want to throw myself out the second floor window of the psychology building. The fall wouldn't kill me, but I imagine it would hurt just as bad as it does to realize that much of our research funding was flushed down the "gene for" toilet.
Of course, the conclusion that genes don't influence personality is most certainly wrong, after all, we have decades of twin research showing similarity in personality between identical twins. At least some of that similarity has to be genetic. Are we missing something that might help uncover the great mystery linking genes and personality?
I'll go with the prevailing opinion.
It's a mysterious part in psychology and genetics.
