transmitted to humans directly from parents through genetics. While, nurture could be explained as "all external factors surrounding human beings from birth to death" (Beckett 2002). Wherefore, scientists confirm that the factors which influence human behavior are subdivided into three aspects. Firstly, genes are responsible for human behavior, secondly, environment is responsible for human behavior, thirdly, interaction between genes and environmental factors that determine human 's behavior.…

The article I read focuses on this specific topic and shows us how humans and apes develop different social skills from a young age. Even though chimpanzees are our closest living…
