virus: nature verses nurture question to take nap

This is an "OLD" post, pardon moi......
----------------------------------------
After a phone conversation with Jake last night and an article in this
months "Skeptic" about black athletes and "slow vs. fast twitch muscle",
I'm now prepared to lay the noisy nature verses nurture and how much
question to sleep for a while.
It's not a fixed contribution from either component, even in a
particular phenotype. It's dynamic and is layered in with the rest of
the "streaming narrative" we call consciousness.
At any given time, I would imagine the quantitative contribution from
either genetics or past/present cognitive acquisitions to run up and
down the fitness landscape like a horny teenager.
