The Genes Made Me Do It!

An article about some of the newer research on nature versus nurture focuses on the aspect genes play in determining the traits a person shows.

And they're actually finding evidence that supports a middle view! Imagine that. Because no one would ever have guessed that both genes and environment affected a person, and that it didn't have to be completely to one extreme or the other. This may be worse than some of the philosophical wars.

Of course there's the scientific process. They had to do studies and find evidence, not just listen to the words of a random girl who's never done a single study on it in her life. So it's good to see that they're getting there, instead of insisting that it's an either/or matter. As the article states, "Genetic predisposition is not destiny."

I still think this issue is something more complicated and want to include a third factor, but without proof or proper ability to explain why, I'll leave it at the fact that they're getting somewhere in this debate and remain happy with that fact for now.
