“But I don’t understand your explanation.”

I will try to clarify. I hope you understand what I mean, whether you agree or not.

Nurturing behavior is an aspect of human nature.

1. Human individuals are predisposed as a result of evolutionary forces to interact.
2. Interaction leads to structured societies.
3. The specific structure that emerges depends upon the conditions and circumstances experienced by the population.
4. As children interact with members of the population, they absorb the culture. There are minor individual differences in how each person practices the culture.
5. Cultural practices evolve as conditions and circumstances change.

Those five points describe the natural process through which nurture occurs. Nurture is nature.

I hope that explains the meaning I intend to convey through the expression “nurture is nature.” You are welcome to challenge any or all of the five points if you disagree with them. Those points describe what I mean when I say nurture is nature; it is a natural process.

.In your twins example, each twin underwent a nurturing process, each occurring under different circumstances and producing different results.

“Nurture is nature” is a phase I conceived to respond to feminists who claimed that men intentionally designed society to benefit themselves at women’s expense. I intended for it to provoke a conversation.

I hope you understand what I mean, whether you agree with it or not.
