Is it normal to wonder how you came from your parents?

Is it normal to not know how you ended up being who you are because you're so different from your parents? Like, your beliefs, politics, intelligence and other such things.

    Yes it's normal. You'd have to do research on genetics. You aren't your parents you're a combination of your parents and their parents and their parents x100000. Example, my dad had average or less than average intelligence. My mom has average intelligence. I'm highly intelligent (so I've been told by teachers/employers) when it comes to mathematics and science/physics (far more than my mother and father who took remedial classes in grad school) in fact all of my moms side failed at math including my moms sister, but her daughters kids are very good at mathematics for their age very similar to me when I was in school. Just look into genetics, it's quite fascinating.

    You seem to be getting the impression people are simple. They are not and things develop and happen for a number of reasons. Personality is created by experiences, genes, upbringing and environment. You can not say its JUST one thing. Nature vs nurture is crap. Its a mixture of things. I think we already born inclined torse certien things. Possible more gentle or more aggressive but I think conditions can change it.

        Then they are right and you are wrong, simple as that.

    Well of course, you guys didn't grow up in the same times or lead the same lives. It only makes sense that your beliefs wouldn't be altogether the same.

    • Yeah but it's like they didn't influence me at all. My brother, however, is exactly like both of them!

    Yeah normal. It's called individuality. Although often, when you yourself become a parent, you will start to notice some uncanny similarities.
