Click here for the article.
So, was the way we behave engrained in us before we were born? Or has it developed over time in response to our experiences? |

I just kinda skimmed through it, but i think its a combination of both, with primarily nurture.. i mean.. there are geniuses born every day that never get the chance to develop their skills because of their environment.. conversely, there are ppl raised in the best environments that still dont amount to anything because of genetics
The idea of genetics applies heavily to physical development, but not so much to psychological.. psychological and emotional development depend most on the environment, because as a human being, you absorb everything around you, everything in your environment influences your development, thats my take |
