@newscientist: What can Hitler’s DNA actually tell us?   Professor Turi King explains the striking results of polygenic analysis and why genetic predisposition is not the same as a diagnosis.   DNA may tell us something about risk, but it cannot explain who someone becomes or what they go on to do.   Tap the link in bio to watch the full video   #TuriKing #DNA #Genetics #Science #History

Luminous Fury :

im sorry, how did they even collect the DNA please?

Big Fat Animal :

Every year it’s some new rubbish lmao

ranterist :

So, like Musk and Thiel, then…

Arenot :

…and all the drugs.

emalemon2110 :

how do they have access to his dna when his body was burnt

FrauWolf🖤🤍❤️ :

If you read anything about Hitler or from Hitler (like Mein Kampf and Table Talks), it's pretty easy to say what was up with him. He didn't have schizophrenia. Autism is actually quite plausible, looking at how he behaved in the trenches, during WW1. ADHD is also VERY possible with him, looking at his night owl style of life and an absolute inability to do stuff he wasn't interested in. Also, he suffered horrible abuse from his father, Alois Hitler was an absolute monster. And spending 4 years in the trenches of the Western Frontline definitely didn't help.

VA :

omg. get to it.

Nyannyan :

So if you're in the top 1% for these genetic predispositions, that STILL only translates into a 5% chance of being diagnosed with one of them? What a useful test then. 🙄

MURF 55 :

so where did they get the DNA from??

melissadawnshow :

Okay she literally just told you you have to take all this research with a pinch of salt. So that means it’s rubbish.

Cosmic Whispers :

Now compare that DNA to those with anti social personality disorder and sadism and see where he falls.

Mot :

2 minutes of pure larp

totalsxok4m :

where’d you get the dna

Truth is a razor :

So it’s all made up is what she’s saying

tinymommy212 :

I would have thought Malignant or Grandiose Narcissist but could also see a psych addition too

Sandra Bridgwood :

Hitlers father was very abusive and what he did he didn't do alone, he couldn't have done it if he wasn't surrounded by like minded people.

LisaRinger740 :

You don’t know what happened in his family. Genetics is only one part of the equation

Harvey1945 :

And where would current world leaders fall in this spectrum?

ffscdfgf :

is this causation or correlation? Saying 'really really careful with this' or 'giant pinch of salt' is credible science news?

YanB 🥷🏽 :

I know identical twins who have wildly different personalities.

Cate 🇦🇺 :

our dna is the pizza base - envioment, character, personality, are the toppings that make up the totality of who we are individually.

Nelumbo_art :

Reminds me of certain Molusk and Oompa Loompas

SpaceFrogen 🪲 :

so we learnt nothing

wedontlikeplain :

People really need to stop diagnosing people they’ve never actually assessed
