Nature

vs. nurture.

2 sisters; born to same parents, same mother who ate the same type of food during gestation, led the same lifestyle habits, cared for by the same doctor in the same hospital and grew up in the same house. One of which is like an alien, literally, no idea from which universe she came from while the other is a replica of her dad.

How much is nature and how much is nurture? Is there a dominant one? There is recent evidence of “brain synchrony” where 2 people’s brain, when participating in meaningful engagements together, display synchronized frequencies of neural activity, showing the brain’s potential to be influenced by external factors. And yet even after years of living together there can still be such disparities between 2 people who share the same DNA pool.

Nature vs. nurture, the eternal question.
