Darwin states that nature selects the traits that best enable an organism to survive and reproduce in a particular environment. The nature-only side states that personalities are genetic only and remain consistent across the life span. The nurture-only side states that we are all essentially the same at birth, and we are a product of our experiences, anything is possible.
