Are these not all part of the nurture / environment bucket? Or are we drawing a hard boundary between nurture (eg, parenting) and environment? (eg, lead in the pipes)
- the__alchemist 11mo agoI'm splitting up both "nature" and "nurture" into slightly less-broad categories. In the case of what you highlighted, yes. For example, epigentics is sort of both "nature" and "nurture", in that you can pick up these traits, and pass them on/get them passed on.
- sudosysgen 11mo agoThey can also simply get picked up in a correlated manner between twins due to the shared womb environment even if those correlated epigenetic traits are completely different from those of the parents.
- tptacek 11mo agoGenes interact with the environment. There aren't hard boundaries the way you've phrased them.
