Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which the nature-versus-nurture controversy applies to the study of behavior.

Introduction: The nature versus nurture theory specifically explains the role genes and the environment have on animal behavior. Natural selection ensures that the hereditary response of prior generations to selection has an influence on their behavior. During the animal’s own lifetime, learning to be flexible to survive in its ecosystem confers the animal with the ability to adapt to changes.
