Nature vs. Nurture

                                    
In the debate regarding:  entreps born, made or fated/destine/accidental/serendipitous. there was a mention of nurture vs. nature (made vs born)

This reminds me of a  story
of an eagle which was hatched together with chicken eggs.  As it grew, it took on the behavior and traits of the chicks it was growing with it.  It scampered in fear as the magnificent eagles flew overhead.  It never realized by its nurture (growing with chicks) that it is an eagle (nature).  (There are some untrue facts here because the eagle would grow sharp beak and talons, and different kind of feathers and longer wing span.  Its true nature would be revealed)  But the myth tells us the effect of nurture vs. nature.

As if were to believe, Tarzan growing up with apes.  Tarzan assumed the behavior of the apes.

Nature vs. nurture?
