It does if you can quantify the nature of the relationship between identical twins and fraternal twins. I would have no problem with the statement that identical twins are 3 times closer than fraternal twins - I've seen in borne out repeatedly.

What is the percentage for identical twins separated at birth?
I don't have those numbers with me. However they are higher than fraternal twins separated at birth. But certainly lower then when rearrd together. That also supports the role of genetics and environment, as opposed to just environment and upbringing alone.

How do you explain differences when reared apart from each other? They still favor identical twins.

quote:It makes sense that nature and nurture would play a role in one's propensity to get divorced. Many, if not most, behavioral, cognitive, and personality have genetic underpinnings. Some of these will contribute to people entering into relationships that are unhealthy or misguided (poor compatibility, moved too quickly, etc.). Therefore, it's not surprising that there will be some hereditability present.

Also, it has been consistently shown that children adopted at birth share more traits and personality characteristics with their biological parents then they do with their adoptive parents. Score one for genetics

The primary reason the students coming out of a private school do so well is the same reason they entered in the first place (invested parents with good genes). There is a selection bias.
