Nature and nurture stand in reciprocity, not opposition. Offspring inherit, along with their parents' genes, their parents, their peers, and the places they inhabit.

Nature, Niche, and Nurture: The Role of Social Experience in Transforming Genotype Into Phenotype
Abstract
Nature and nurture stand in reciprocity, not opposition. Offspring inherit, along with their parents' genes, their parents, their peers, and the places they inhabit. The ontogenetic niche is a crucial link between parents and offspring, an envelope of life chances. Development is at one and the same time a social and a psychological and a biological process. If we psychiatrists allow ourselves to become mere pill pushers—or psychotherapists who fit all patients into one Procrustean bed—each as the exclusive road to mental health, we will have abandoned the duty we owe our patients and our integrity as physicians.
