So if you see a person unhappy in poverty it’s because of their genetics?

I think he means the inverse: for people able to find joy despite adverse circumstances.

More importantly, I would say, it's likely innate to us that we are unhappy without adverse circumstances. I.e. for there to be brightness there needs to be darkness.

He claimed it was the primary effect. Which is absurd. And claimed it was easily observed by family inheritance? That’s obviously wrong.
