research how far inherited genes affect our behaviour. An extensive report into identical and non-identical twins came to the conclusion that identical twins share the same genetic make-up and have the same behavioural pattern which is encouraged by shared social environment‚ that is‚ treated the same by family‚ friends‚ teachers at school‚ whereas non-identical twins are treated less differently because they do not posses identical features (Christiansen‚ 77). Another study was based upon adopted children
