Aggression is one of the things which researchers are debating about; is it due to nature or nurture? Twin studies are very useful in this area because monozygotic (MZ) twins‚ who share 100% of their DNA‚ will prove whether or not aggression (or any other behaviour for that matter) is due to the genes we inherit.
