For anyone who has ever wondered whether their child's traits are a product of genes or parenting practices, a major new project could help provide the answer.
'How We Develop', a newly published collection of essays written by leading scientists in their respective fields, seeks to replace the centuries-old 'nature-nurture' dialogue with a new developmental argument: that everything about us, from brain and body structure to traits and preferences, is a product of a dynamic, developing system.
The aim of the collection is to make cutting-edge science on human development available to non-academic audiences. It is published online for free and in an accessible format at: http://wires.wiley.com/go/howwedevelop.
