Why is nurture so important?
Why is nature important in nature vs. nurture?
The interplay between nature and nurture means that identifying which genes and which environments are having an effect is difficult; turning an already complex system, that links DNA with human behaviour, into a network of genetic and environmental pathways and intersections.
Why is nurture and nature important?
Two decades of research make it increasingly clear that both nature and nurture always play a role—that is, the extent to which genetic factors affect behavior depends on the social environment in which people live, work, and play.
How have both nature and nurture affect your personality?
