Genes Decides Your Social Standing
Genes Decides Your Social Standing
The role of genes in forming and configuring social networks is the latest eyebrow-raising discovery by Fowler and Christakis. Last year, they published a paper reporting that joy is infectious, spreading like a virus from one happy person to another. In another study, they found obesity to be similarly contagious. If your friend (or friend of a friend) put on weight, odds were you would, too. Likewise, the researchers found it is easier to quit smoking if people around you, known or unknown, are doing the same thing.

Standing Social Decides Genes
I am not sure that I totally agree with this study. While there may be some merit to it by studying twins I think that each individual can make his or her name by using hard work and some social contacts to rise above what many would consider their station.
