Narture vs Nurture

Nature versus nurture is a term coined by the English Victorian polymath Francis Galton regarding the influence of heredity and environment on social careers. Galton was influenced by the book The Origin of Species written by his cousin, Charles Darwin. The concept embodied in the phrase has been criticized for its binary simplification of two tightly interwoven parameters, as for example an environment of wealth, education and social privilege are often historically passed to genetic offspring. The nature versus nurture debates concern the relative importance of an individual's innate qualities versus personal experiences determining or causing individual differences in physical and behavioral traits.

Francis Galton. He was a pioneer in eugenics, coining the very term itself and the phrase "nature versus nurture". His book, Hereditary Genius (1869), was the first social scientific attempt to study genius and greatness. As an investigator of the human mind, he founded psychometrics (the science of measuring mental faculties) and differential psychology. He devised a method for classifying fingerprints that proved useful in forensic science.

Some topics for when it comes for Nature vs Nurture dabates are:
Athletic Ability, Intelligence, Criminal Behavior, Personality, Homosexuality, Creativity

In general percentage they say human get their abilities or asspects from nurture (enviorment) meaning that they learn from the people around them.

In my opinion i believe that yes there is a great persentage in enviorment but in nature or biological is from what we are and what we are designated to be. I believe is a 50%, 50% and all depends in your DNA test.
