But there would be no way to determine if there was differences because of the situation or because of biology unless the people were twins seperated at birth (which would be a pretty cruel social experiment).
For example: My father played in the NHL, I was raised by both him and my mom until the age of 16 when I moved in with my dad. Now, had I been adopted by a gay couple at birth, maybe I would have been less inclined to join hockey, or to be athletic in general. Maybe. Or is that stuff part of my genetic code and would I be predesposed to that type of behaviour?
