Episode 5 - Nature, Nurture, and Twin Studies

Hirad Motamed & Patricia Veinott Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode, we explore the nature versus nurture debate with the help of behavioural genetics. In human development, what matters more - the environment or our genome? Join us for a deep dive into the fascinating research of twins and adoption. From the uncanny similarities of twins reared apart to the effects of different parenting strategies, we untangle what the research says about our genes and environment... and what it doesn't.
