In Sullivan’s essay, I found it hard to understand and take away what I thought the central idea might be. I did read through it and understand the parts talking genetically as I am in the medical field and find that type of research interesting. It was confusing though had they made those assumptions to try that out in the first place. Who would think that those types of personal choices made could be discovered by your makeup. I know genetics don’t completely define it and that there are other factors that play a role in it such as personality, up brining and who you surround yourself with just to name a few.
In relation to Testosterone Rex, I think that correlate around the same idea. You can see they even relate based off the title of the article. Testosterone. The way we are and our complete body comes from genetics, it allows us to figure out and understand so much about ourselves that sometimes even we don’t completely comprehend. I think both writers had a similar vision in mind for both of their works.
