Nature vs Nurture is by far a mind boggling question. Genetics play a huge role in how you will be. Like everything in life it can change. Weather the change is environmental or your culture it will change. Example Americans have become taller over the past century because of a spike in people living a healthier life. When a baby is born it has several natural instincts but after just a short time it goes away because they have already realized that they dont need that side.

Quite fascinating and, for that reason, a little disturbing, speaking personally. I have a five year old boy with speech challenges. Instead of answering the most basic questions (where is mommy) he echoes the question at you. Things would look up if I thought that nurture could come to the rescue, but if it’s all down to nature (genes) then that tends to leave us helpless, doesnt it? Or , as the Bible says, from whence cometh our help?
