Discussion Post: Nature VIA Nurture
The argument of Nature vs. Nurture is dead and long since gone with the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003.

Our genes, in turn, have been shaped over time by the process of evolution. After viewing the video, define "epigenetic" and "epitasis", and give a unique example of each. Then discuss how nature, nurture and evolution affect the development of an individual and how researchers determine the relative influence of heredity and environment.
