Are the choices we make purely a function of free will shaped by life experience? Or, are our choices and accomplishments largely determined by predispositions and potentialities? Dr. Ann Lang, a professor of behavioral genetics, sought a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms that shape us. Over the course of her research into heritable human characteristics, particularly intelligence, she discovered an unexpected family link to the very foundation of the once discredited and a now revived branch of human genetics. In the course of her work and evolving personal life, she is confronted by choices that would subordinated collective moral values to emerging social and political imperatives - forces that promise the advancement of human potential.
