The "genetic determinism" thing is just a strawman. No scientists believe that genes alone determine everything about a person. For example the heritability of height in the US is 90%~, and no one says that it's 100%.

I don't think the author of the article fully understands the concept of epigenetics. It has to do with inheritance of non DNA traits not nature vs nurture.
