Nature vs. Nurture

Nature vs. Nurture is the study of the human body, there physics and personality. Nature is the genetics where you come from and nurture is the environment you live in. The first person who used this term was Francis Galton. He wrote the book English men of Species in which he names his discovery and the debates within it. He was born in Birmingham in 1822. Nature vs. Nurture talks about the genetics in people. Also it talks about twins and their behaior. Some questions are Why people are born with blue eyes? Why are people more intelligent than others? This question are what people debate about. Are they nature or nurture?  The debate between nature vs. nurture has been for many years. It is about genetics and environment. Scientists believe that nature is one thing and nurture is another. For example your intelligence is it nature or nurture? But intelligence can be both because if you are born in a very intelligent family it is possible you are born to be intelligent but also the environment you are born in can influence as well. Even today many people are in debate in this topic. In my opinion people are the way they are because of this to topics and both of them are very important in society and in the human beings.
