This update is basically a preparement for what will be one of the last big feature updates to Prometheus, of course aside of bug fixes and maybe small features here and there. The long awaited Prometheus v2 has been cancelled, and we explain why as well as detailing the next update at the link below:
Genes are unlikely to be the sole cause of an addiction. âGambling addiction can be inherited,â the Daily Mail reported. The newspaper said, âif one of your parents is addicted to gambling the odds are high that you will be as well, research has revealedâ. This study in 2,889 pairs of twins investigated the role of genetic and environmental factors in the development of gambling addiction.
The Role of Family History. Addiction is due 50 percent to genetic predisposition and 50 percent to poor coping skills. This has been confirmed by numerous studies. One study looked at 861 identical twin pairs and 653 fraternal (non-identical) twin pairs. When one identical twin was addicted to alcohol, the other twin had a high probability of being addicted. But when one non-identical twin was addicted to alcohol, the other twin did not necessarily have an addiction. Based on the differences between the identical and non-identical twins, the study showed 50-60 percent of addiction is due to genetic factors.(1) Those numbers have been confirmed by other studies.(2) The other 50 percent is due to poor coping skills, such as dealing with stress or uncomfortable emotions.
