Nurture Has Not Yet Been Solved
The debate about the use of genetics in
determining patterns in human behaviors has
not been solved. Charles Darwin says that
human behavior is the result of evolutionary
processes that were created over time to help
humans survive and adapt to new conditions.
There is scientific evidence for his claims and
he is known as the father of the debate on
human nature.
Then, the glory years of psychiatry came
along. Sigmund Freud, a definitive thinker at
the time, said that human behavior is the
product of nurture. His famous argument
suggested that personalities, traits and behaviors
were created in spite of and because of the way
that children are treated by their parents, or their
absentee parents.
The debate has raged on over the years
and each side makes valid points, some of
which can be validated scientifically. The
importance of this debate does not necessarily
lie in who is right and who is wrong. Instead, it
is important that humans note that there are
patterns in behavior. Whether someone is
