Nature vs Nurture

Nurture versus Nature was a term first used by Francis Galton who was a English Victorian Polymath. What this term means is that some things come with you when you are born through your genetics and others through the environment. In other words it can also be called Biological versus Environmental Factors. Some topics that scientists still are studying further are athletic ability, intelligence, criminal behavior, personality and homosexuality because they still do not know wether they come in your genes or you learn them according to your environment. The overall belief about this debate is that in nurture the human being changes his way of thinking a lot over time  and now people are very different than before, and in nature people act differently because of the change in their environment. Nurture affects more the human body than nature because that is more like physical.  In my opinion all these topics are very hard to determine if they are Biological or they are environmental factors but i believe that it depends in the person and their past wether they get all of these. Also i think that scientists should make the investigations according to individual cases because all of them are different and it depends in the genetics of the people.
