SynopsisExamining the interactive roles of nature and nurture in psychological and physical development, Neubauer and Neubauer show how each person is greater than the sum of his or her parts. They discuss how temperament, tastes and skills unfold throughout life and the need for this to remain unimpeded., In Nature's Thumbprint, one of the country's foremost psychiatrists and his son, a writer, explore the impact of today's new genetic research on our understanding of human development and personality. Using original case studies of identical twins adopted in infancy and reared apart, this extraordinary book untangles the complex interaction between genetics and experience.
