Argh! This is close but makes an important (and widespread) misinterpretation - that whatever variation cannot be ascribed to genetics must be due to the environment. This overlooks a hugely important source of individual differences: inherent variability of brain developmenthttps://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/1168427814036680705 …

Isn't that inherent variability in fetal and brain development also caused by environmental factors, broadly construed?

Replying to @rhetoricaltyro @Oliver_S_Curry
No - it's really, really inherent. The processes of brain development are probabilistic at a molecular and cellular level. We can literally see that at play in repeated neuroanatomical structures within single organisms.https://www.psychologytoday.com/ie/blog/innate/201808/nature-nurture-and-noise …
