I have learned very much indeed, and I thank you all for teaching me so much. My thoughts on the subject have certainly gotten broader.

Whatever the source is, it's probably a combination of genetics, instinct, and environment.

I disagree. It is our biology that allows us to be affected the enviroment. The parameters of bio set parameters of enviormental influence.

Yes, I do.

Sort of like my 1st response. It's in our hardwiring to be affected by software ( environment). The ROOT possibility of one being homosexual is genetic. However, there differences between someone born gay and social homesexuality. The later being things such as prison.


"Debates about the relative contributions of nature vs nurture have been among the most contentious in psychology. The premise that underlie these these debates are flawed, yet they are deeply entrenched.

For developmental biologist such a question is not considered.
Every aspect of an organism's phenotype is a joint product of both.

It is gene environment interactionism.

To put your question another way what's more important the engine or the gas? Or, what's more important that determining the area of a rectangle the length or the width?

It is because of nature ( genes) that you can be affected my nurture( environment)

The more nature the more nurture. Genes allow the environment to influence the development of phenotypes."

This sounds like 1) Teleology in evolution, which is usually wrong, 2) Species Selectionism, which is questionable.

Gene reductionism more like it.

Now after hearing all of your talk I realize there's so much more in the world!

But now there's a problem... brain hurt ow pain in my hed urggh...
