- Epigenetics
- Material in cells of your body act like switches to turn genes on and off
- Can't separate
- It is hard to disentangle the effects of nature and nurture
- Nurture affects Nature
- life experiences shape behaviour (brain plasticity)
- Nature affects Nurture

- active influence - seek experiences to suit genes
- passive influence - parent's genes influence behaviour
- Genes may have an indirect effect on many things
- Diathesis-stress
