	Nature versus nurture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nature versus nurture is a shorthand expression for debates about the relative importance of an individual's "nature" versus personal experiences ("nurture") in determining or causing physical and behavioral traits.
		Thus nature versus nurture debates can be seen as attempts to fit new scientific ideas and developments into the classical formalist and self-based mold, since these debates arose from problems associated with reconciling the formalist notions of classical theories with emerging theories and new data.
		Although "nurture" may have historically referred mainly to the care given to children by their parents, any environmental (not genetic) factor also would count as "nurture" in a contemporary nature versus nurture debate, including one's childhood friends, one's early experiences with television, and one's experience in the womb.

		In the case of highly penetrant genetic diseases, such as Huntington's disease, nature seems to be the right answer; basically, you will get the disease if and only if you have the corresponding disease-causing allele (gene variant).
		Historically, much of this debate has had undertones of racist, and eugenicist policies - the notion of race as a scientific validity has often been assumed as a prerequisite in various incarnations of the nature versus nurture debate.

		Nature versus nurture is a colloquialism that refers to popular debates about the degrees by which one's innate nature and their human experiences ("nurture") have a direct or causal influence upon one's ultimate physical and behavioural traits.
		As science developed an understanding of life's elemental nature (like molecules, genes, atoms, gravity, time) the apparent lines that classical formalism defined became blurred, and the trend in science has been to stray from the human-centrered view to a more general and elemental view.
		With most interesting traits, however, there is probably an intermediate mix of nature and nurture, and opinions about the relative importance of each may vary widely.
