Over the course of this journey, the book explores themes of free will, fate, and chance; prediction, misinterpretation, and the burden that comes with knowledge of the future; self-fulfilling and self-defeating prophecies; the forces that contribute to similarities and differences among people; roots and lineage; and the judgement of oneself and others..Using .Oedipus Rex. as its lens, this novel work provides an engaging overview of behavioural genetics thatdemonstrates its relevance across the humanities and the social and life sciences.
