NATURE VERSUS NURTURE 'THE DEBATE'...

  Nature is something genetic; something you are born with. Nurture is not genetic; it's care given to children by their parents and their surroundings. All your life experience and liberal interpretation are part of nurture. The first to use this term was by an English man called Francis Galton (16 February 1822 – 17 January 1911). He was half cousin of Charles Darwin. The topics that are part of 'the debate' Nature versus Nurture are homosexuality, athletic, artistic abilities, intelligence and skill. I think nurture is ore dominate than nurture because we are made of DNA. DNA is made from nuture. We are born with our family ability and characteristics. In my research it says it like 'apples versus apples' they are like 50/50. Each one of them is dominate in one area then another. I think that nature only influence in the way of thinks of things. Also the ways you express yourself come from nature.

CHARLES DARWIN AND HIS THEORY!

Charles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury; England in February1809 (died 1882).Charles Darwin was born the same day as Abraham Lincoln. He was the second oldest of the five kids. His mother died when he was only eight years old. Since he was little he liked to collect plants and insects. He was just like his grandfather he wanted to become a scientist.



Charles Darwin had knowledge, he knew how to make a hypotheses and he knew how to support his observations. Other scientist was working on evolution long before Darwin was born. Darwin was one of the men with a clear solution to the theory of evolution. Charles Darwin made a trip to the Galapagos Island where he made allot of observation on the animal. Most of the fossil he found was recently extinct animals.


The theory of Natural Selection is a theory that Darwin got idea of evolution. First, there is a variation of traits. Then, there is the difficulty in reproduction was it is hard to reproduce as they normally do because of nature. Then they are heredity where the reproduction happens. Then the end result is when the growth of population happens. Over all, the natural selection make individual struggle for survival and to reproduce. Later on make a bigger population.


The theory of Darwin was unpopular at its time because this theory was carried out years before because everything is changing. For example humans are changing.


Darwin wanted to develop this theory because there were other scientist was developing this theory. He had a rush in finishing the book because he spends allots of years of observation and other scientist had fewer years and was already making a book. He did not want people to take away all the hard work he did to make a solution to the theory.
