No.
But we have very strong indices for genetic foundings of psychopathy and sociopathy. Both can also be influenced by social and culturla environment and life experiences. Its one of these "multi-factorial theories". Its genes PLUDS environment.
Most likely the same with intelligence, for that matter. Just mentioning it.
We know hiowveer that certain jobs and psoitions attract people with very severe psychpathic traits. Some of thes ejobs in the economy and pltlics even rewar4d sociopathic characteristics. thats why in these fields and areas we find sociopaths/psyhcopaths beign - sometimes massively - overrepresented, compared to mean averages in the population.
There are no traits in humans imaginable that do not have a genetic basis. Genes must not always determine prefixed outcomes, but sure as hell they determine the upper and lower limits of a range within which a given trait or quality can unfold, depending on its living environment.
We humans are nothing without a functioning brain, and a body. Take the material basis of our existence away, and nothing remains of us. Nothing. We simply do not exist without a material correlate that manifests our existence. And the body we so mercilessly depend on - is determined by genes.
Thats why I find this whole 60+ genders circus so ridiculous. Real in that only can be what can be demonstrated to have a correlate in genetic codification.
