What experiments?
Links to such?
I have seen some very aggressive babies come from completely docile adult females and vice versa.
Unless someone kept them in exactly the same environments and held them the same amount of time and fed them the same meals in the same manner, etc etc..
I doubt anyone has taken the time to do a meaningful "scientific" experiment.

I've yet to see an aggressive baby that couldn't be tamed into a completely docile adult...
