Nature and Nurture

The idea
Nature, what we inherit, and nurture, what we experience, interact constantly, so development is never the product of one alone.
In practice
A child's inherited ear for music develops only with lessons and practice.
Where people slip
The question is no longer which one matters, but how the two work together for a given trait.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
