Nature vs Nurture

Nature and Nurture is a term that regards the influency of heredity and enviromental, ¨ for its binary simplification of two tightly interwoven parameters, as for example an environment of wealth, education and social privilege are often historically passed to genetic offspring.¨ The english victorian polymath Francis Galton was the first to use this term.
This topic debates ¨ concern the relative importance of an individual's innate qualities versus personal experiences in determining or causing individual differences in physical and behavioral traits.¨ Like some topics of how some of the following topics could be nature or nurture: Athletic abilities, Intelligence, Criminal Behaviors, Personality, Creativity, and the last and most difficult to see if it is nature or nurture..Homosexuality. ¨In scientific circles, this conflict led to ongoing controversy of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology¨
¨ To disentangle the effects of genes and environment, behavioral geneticists perform adoption and twin studies. Behavioral geneticists do not generally use the term "nurture" to explain that portion of the variance for a given trait that can be attributed to environmental effects. Instead, two different types of environmental effects are distinguished: shared family factors and nonshared factors.¨
