Nature verses Nurture

Paper Summary:

This paper questions that, as evidenced by the ancient civilizations, how can it be assumed that genes are constant and uniform in all human beings and will determine what man will be like? The author stresses that the question of genes is their effect on the physical and behavioral traits of humans and does not change the view of society on what a well-nurtured human is. The paper concludes that society still expects the products of good nurturing such as people who are honest, sensitive to environment and non-violent and self-restraint; however, even in the Old Testament, there is the tale of Cane and Abel which demonstrates both nature and nurture.

From the Paper:

"In June 2000, President Clinton had organized a press conference to mark one of the most important milestones of the century and that was the cracking of the human genetic code. Two of the men most responsible for the two competing genetic projects were there - Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute and J. Craig Venter, president of Celera Genomics. They were also individuals involved in finding out the 3 billion 'letters' of the human genome, or the biochemical recipe encoded in our DNA that were the reasons for birth and operating a human being."
