The [[nature]] versus '''nurture''' debate concerns the [[relative]] importance of an [[individual]]'s innate qualities ("nature," i.e. nativism, or innatism) versus [[personal]] [[experiences]] ("nurture," i.e. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empiricism empiricism] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behaviorism behaviorism]) in determining or causing [[individual]] differences in [[physical]] and behavioral traits.

The phrase "Nature versus nurture" in its [[modern]] sense was coined by the English Victorian polymath [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Galton Francis Galton] in [[discussion]] of the [[influence]] of [[heredity]] and [[environment]] on social advancement, although the terms had been [[contrasted]] previously, for example by Shakespeare (in his play, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tempest ''The Tempest: 4.1'']). Galton was influenced by the book [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species On the Origin of Species] written by his cousin, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin Charles Darwin]. The [[concept]] embodied in the phrase has been criticized for its binary simplification of two tightly interwoven [[parameters]], as for example an [[environment]] of [[wealth]], education and social [[privilege]] are often historically passed to genetic offspring.

The view that humans acquire all or almost all their [[behavioral]] traits from "nurture" was termed by philosopher [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke John Locke] ''tabula rasa'' ("blank slate") and proposes that humans [[develop]] from only [[environmental]] [[influences]]. This question was once considered to be an appropriate division of [[developmental]] influences, but since both [[types]] of factors are known to play such interacting roles in development, most modern [[psychologists]] and [[anthropologists]] consider the question [[naive]]—representing an outdated state of [[knowledge]].
