Nature Vs Nurture Genetics. The nature vs. nurture debate is often described as one of the big philosophical and scientific questions facing psychologists. The nature versus nurture debate involves whether human behavior is determined by the environment, either prenatal or during a person's life, or by a person's genes.
Studies show, however, that while fraternal twins do more closely resemble one. I will be writing about when this debate first rooted, and why. As humans, we are all made up of genetics; genes, cells, DNA, and neurotransmitters and we know that this biological makeup can operate differently across individuals.
Those factors that are uncontrolled by us.
The key difference between nature and nurture is that nature depends on genetics whereas nurture depends on the time spent in the acquisition of skills.
Although today there is a wide acceptance that both genetics and environmental experiences define an animal's behavior, at one time it was thought that perhaps. Our personality traits and abilities are in our "nature." Because identical twins share the same genetic makeup, we can assume that differences between them are due to environmental factors. Which is more important: inherited traits or learned behaviors?
