Been thinking about genetics a lot lately...so is it nature or nurture?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 535201, member: 1550"] I love physiology and read a lot about it and it seems that scientists are starting to believe almost every trait is inherited. Honestly, I Googled "loneliness" and three articles came up saying there is a genetic component toward feeling lonely. And I know that most adoptive parents I've met feel their children are more like their birthparents than like them. However, nurture IS a factor. It HAS to be...a little bit. Sonic's BM was a drug addict and probably also sold herself for drug money. Her environment was that of a very poor woman and perhaps she had a disability or poor family ties. I believe with all my heart that she had a good soul because Sonic does. Because of our environment, Sonic is drug/alcohol/cigarette free. He is able to be the best he can be. That, very sadly, was not so for his BM. But I still think genetics is far stronger than nurture. Loneliness genetic? REALLY? I thought that was very interesting. Of course, loneliness also goes with depression and we KNOW that is hereditary. Just one of those "what do you think" posts with no right or wrong answers :) [/QUOTE]
