I met my biological family 10 years ago, which included my full blooded lil sister. She grew up in Alaska, me in NY but we were identical in every non visual form from fashion, jokes, to fav candy bar & author. She kept blaming our mom for briefing me on all this, to mess w her a lil. It was really chilling

IMO it's understanding your nature and your genetics, so that one with nurture can use techniques that can be used to shape you into the person you'll become and using nurture as a way to develop your abilities or to overcome limitations. Sure, certain tasks will be harder, but not imposssible. So basically while it can give you advantages and disadvantages, your future is not set in stone.

Again, thank you. I thought it was great.

Maybe it's always nuture simply because of the word evolution and adaptation genes overtime have learned to "Adapt/evolve" in such a way that sometimes the body will be able to adjust to certain environments/exposures. The fact that . I used the word "Evoulution" only reason is factual is because of simple/complex science an actual evidence..... Due to the time interval from our own "evolution" we can not factually say that our body will never be change beyond the simple/complex science of modern day. Nature and Nuture are though one in the same when it comes to this specific topic (personal opinion) like we literally have no use for certain body part , so who's to say unless someone invents a time machine that those certain body parts will one day no long be only apart of our own Evolultion

You cannot fight against your genetic destiny. But you also shouldn't attribute deficiencies that are irrelevant - to your DNA, in an attempt to refrain from engaging in a fight because that is weak. The example she gave of making yourself feel comfortable whilst eating what's not right, because you already know that you gain weight easily is 1 that's irrelevant. Hence something you're supposed to fight. Meanwhile their are deficiences that you're not supposed to fight. So evidently it's important to know where to draw the line, so you don't waste yourself. For e.g. trying to overcome the deficiences that lie within a certain relationship, due to a personality clash is not 1 you're supposed to fight because you're not going to overcome that.

I saw a documentary about "feral children". They are those children who are actually raised by animals and have no human intervention. So these children cannot develop human characteristics. They will be wild children. They don't know what is mirror, they don't know what is good to eat, they even don't know how to walk., etc. This is all about Nurture especially in human beings.

@Gopniksquat

It’s very complex and depends on what trait/characteristic we’re talking about. I would highly recommend watching some videos or reading articles about epigenetics. Basically we all have very similar DNA. Obviously there are small differences between all people that can be attributed to the small tweaks in DNA that have been passed down by our family over many generations. BUT, notice just how many differences there can be. Some, and maybe a lot, are directly influenced by WHEN, WHERE, and HOW OFTEN certain genes are expressed. There are tiny proteins that cover our DNA when it’s not being duplicated when our cells divide. At various times in our life, in various places of your body, and when specific events are happening inside you and outside of you (think mental or physical stimuli), sometimes these proteins “move around” or shift or are removed from the DNA. This will alter which genes are even able to be expressed (expressed=activated) and how frequently and how many copies of the protein(s) are produced. So the short answer is: for many things we don’t know until it’s heavily researched, but that takes time because the human body is incredibly complex. Like the professor’s example in the video, most of us will never have 6 fingers because most of us are born with the normal copy of the gene(s) that are in charge of developing fingers. But say we’re talking about something like starvation. If your parents or grandparents (or maybe even further back then that) experienced starvation, especially as children, the proteins that cover their genes that regulate hunger and nutrient storage (and others) will have their proteins covering them moved around or shifted. This changes how often, how intense, and when those genes will be expressed now. What’s really cool is that ‘shift’ in those proteins can be transmitted to later generations of children. So if they experienced starvation, there is a higher chance that you would have a higher resistance against hunger/starvation and you will likely store nutrients more efficiently so your body doesn’t starve when food accessibility is lower. So like I said, these things are very complex and only know about these examples specifically because they have been researched in-depth. If you want me to clarify anything, let me know! I know it can be confusing at first so I’m happy to help or point you in the right direction.

La Forza del Destino? A collaboration between the potentials of Nature and Nurture!

With gene editing we can remove the damaging mutations, and retain and spread these beneficial mutations. What we need to understand is why evolution removed these beneficial mutations, like the ability to digest lactose, from our species.

@maevemccann1944

6 жыл бұрын

Evolution didn't remove the lactase persistence gene, it selected for it in countries where diet was based heavily on cow products. Including ireland where the lactase persistence gene is at some of the highest rates in the world. Populations in parts of south east asia for instance didn't experience this force so never encountered positive selection on the gene.

I still believe that nurture has a more profound effect on what we become.

Environment, or 'nurture', as an influence on evolution was first suggested by Lamark, about 50 years before Darwin's theory of evolution. There is an article out there somewhere on the internet that discusses a combination of Lamarkian and Darwinian theories of evolution, ie a combination of nature and nurture, as a functional unified theory of evolution. I think this is pretty much what the speaker in his video is getting at. To compare it with an example she gives, continued consumption of milk without the gene for being able to process milk could result in he mutation that adds that little C. This then is handed down genetically to offspring in the Darwinian survival of the fittest (most able to survive and thrive in a given local).

I know people that were adopted who described being astounded by how similar they were when they met biological family At the same time, my best friend has an 'identical' twin, and if environment made no difference, they should, essentially, be the same person. But they're not. They're similar, sure, but they have different interests, tastes, life experiences, relationships, etc. They are not interchangeable people. So any notion that either nature or nurture 'wins' is very silly to me. Both influence us. We are not blank slates, but we aren't machines either

All opinion and no facts.

Lemme give a quick argument in favour of nature, leave you to draw your own conclusions. Different species think drastically differently. We know that as fact plus that opens to us a possibility of why differences in thought processes couldn't exist in the same species as well? Differences of a very fundamental quality. Like a cat or dog would never imagine, imagining differently. Would it take a more intelligent species than us to point the same phenomena happening with humans as well? Put 100 cats in one giant room with the exact same nurture from birth, each will turn out to have different personality
