Genome #10 Environment

Matt Ridley explains that we humans would contribute any form of an illness or whatnot to the environment. However, that is not totally true. The environment is believed to give people the common colds or a fever. That is true in terms of being a carrier for these illnesses. That is not true when we look at each and everyone's genes. Everyone is different and thus it accounts for different immunity. One person can have a weak immunity and another person can have a stronger immunity. Having a weak or strong immunity will determine who is more susceptible to the common cold. A weak immunity will not have as much defense against illnesses and thus causing you to get sick more. A strong immunity will have more defense against it because it has been exposed to the illness before thus, making the person not as susceptible as others.
