A gaussian distribution is the most common distribution found in nature. It is the continuous case of the binomial distribution, which is the distribution of possible sets of outcomes you get with the addition of basic binary random effects. Imagine this scenario. Let us suppose the bits on a computer are sufficient to encode any information. Now let us randomize those bits and add them up to each other. If we come across a 1, we add +1 to an integer value. If we come across a 0, we add nothing. If we keep repeating this process and add +1 on a histogram at each value of this integer we've arrived at, we will get the binomial distribution. If we'd have infinite bits, then we'd get the gaussian distribution. Alleles are akin to such a randomization. And each point on the histogram represents their alleles. Behavioral inheritances are just salient subsets of this set of allele flips. The amount of alleles is so ridiculously large in spite of being a binomial distribution, it can be taken-for as a gaussian one, especially considering the gaussian distribution is also the shape of noise in data and most environmental variables, especially if they're non-cultural.
