It's even more remarkable that Paabo never really had much of a relationship with his father but still managed to follow him in getting a Nobel Prize. Something to fuel nature-nurture debates...

Please try not to be tedious. If you want to stir the pot, bring up the fact his mother selected a Nobel prize winner to have kids with, so clearly had bias, or something more creative.

Or, I just pointed out that you went into the conversation with a boring assumption. It's transparent.
