I'm sure you're all familiar with this. So, I'm not going to really elaborate on it; I'll trust that you can utilize Google if you need to. (I'm being lazy cause I'm currently writing a paper and don't have time to really go in depth at the moment.)

Anyways, so what are your thoughts?

Both are important factors.

That's pretty much it really. Both are important, it's not just one or the other.

Tabula rasa for the most part, except from certain evolutionary instincts.

False dichotomy.

Both equal. 50/50.

Oh great, this again. It is impossible to accurately test which is more important, due to this I refrain judgement on which is more important. With any experiments, such as those of twins, there are too many extraneous variables to consider any result to be a reliable one.

Well... Think of all the "wild child" incidents in which they were locked in rooms etc, kept away from society.

They always turn out animal-like and non-human like. So, I'm sure it's not 50/50.

Do you think it's possible, that even if humans do not do the nurturing, something else could?

Like what?

Anything that fulfills the role by way of influencing us through our experiences (or theres).

Just introducing the idea to you. Think it over, maybe you'll come to a different conclusion.
