The part of this chapter that I really found interesting was the whole twin studies part of it. One this was the whole difference between identical and fraternal twins. I always kind of knew the difference, but this chapter really helped me understand it completely. I knew that identical twins developed from the same egg, but I guess I never really looked into fraternal twins more.
Another part of this chapter was heritability. This part of the chapter kind of confused me. I mean I get parts of it, like that it has to do with your genes and personal traits. But really other then that I'm pretty much at a lose.
Overall I liked this chapter. I think it really made me look at the world around me and how it effects me. How the people around me help shape to the person I am. But also how my genes and traits that I get from my parents also make me the person I am.
