Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. | | English term or phrase: orchid gene | "We see a higher percentage of ADHDassociated traits in migratory people, for example." Like the SERT gene, DRD4-7R can be both a boon and a bane. Some researchers describe such genes as "orchid genes": nurture them and the carrier thrives, neglect them and a maladaptive personality trait appears. If Spikins is correct, many other genes associated with developmental conditions and mental illness should possess such Jekyll-and-Hyde characteristics. Our ancestors may have benefited from this, but modern societies tend instead to view different minds as a major impediment.

"Certain genes can predispose people to conditions that make them more fragile, like depression, attention deficit, or being restless and risk-prone. (...) The “orchids” are people born with more fragile combinations of genes, while “dandelions” are the people with hardier gene patterns."

"What you're acknowledging in your note above is that the orchid kids/dandelion kids distinction is not real; that in reality, there are *orchid genes* and *dandelion genes*, and at the particular mix we each inherit will affect how plastic our temperament is."
