section Summary
 
 
Similar to the “egg and chicken” argument, the long-standing “nature versus nurture” argument regarding behavioral traits has puzzled scientists and educators alike. The diverse viewpoints have spawned various expectations regarding the ability to manipulate intelligence. However, neither genetics nor environment can fully encapsulate and explain the complex behaviour exhibited by humans. Some behaviors seem to not be influenced by experience and others have very convincing learning mechanisms.
