Answer 1

You know all those stories where twins are separated at birth, and one grows up in a mansion and the other grows up in a hovel? That’s ‘nature vs. nurture.’ ‘Nature would be what we now call ‘genetics.’ We know that there are a lot of things that can be inherited, like alcoholism or height. Nurture would be how someone is raised. The idea is that a person who is raised by illiterates is more likely to be illiterate even if their birth parents were both highly intelligent.

Obviously, in the real world, both play a big role.
