Nurture Strongly Influences Early Human Development
Primitive human evolution is a vital conditions that outcome the children’s future, which most people believe that it was affected by nature and surroundings environment. This view is still a long-running crucial debate throughout the centuries, of which one of these is more influential. Nature is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to the other. Nurture is the neighboring environment that we live in. It seems that both nature and nurture strongly impacted the newborn but upbringing tends to play an important role than genes.
Nature is determined as the heredity or inheritance that is passed from our family or ancestors. It is the fact that human genes essentially take part in this action. The genetic structure decides the human genders, the outward form of the fetus such as the color of the skin, hair, eyes, the body size and especially the characteristics. For instance, social skill and learning ability are determined by genetic structure more than the way that we are reared up by our parents, according to science correspondent, Nick Collins’s experiment on twins that share the same home environment. For this reason, it has been considered that their genes play greater role than practical knowledge and the neighboring environment. In addition, human growth is another main factor. The motor development of the babies goes through a similar progression includes rolling, sitting up, standing, crawling and walking (Atkinson, 1999). This means that natural influence is constantly occurring in heredity and behavior.
On the other hand, nurture has many facts that have even greater impact on human development. Initially, infants experience the world by learning from the surroundings via their sensory system and everyday routine. Education is one of the environmental factors that have the power to modify human characteristics. The idea of John B. Watson and
