Chapter 4~Nature, Nurture, and Human Diversity

In this chapter I learned all about twins. In our high school we have four sets of twins. The set in my grade is a set of fraternal twin girls. I remember in kindergarten, when they looked allot alike, they switched classes and their teachers didn't figure it out until lunch time. In this chapter, the book asks if we think its right if twins should be split up in school and I guess I don't agree. Chelsey and Robin, the twins in my grade, did just fine being split up. I think they liked it better that way because they got more individual attention. I think it is interesting how twins, that have been separated at birth, turn out to still like the same things. I saw a show on TV once about twins that were separated and later found each other. They had the same style of hair, same style of clothes, they liked and disliked the same foods, and they had the same style in men. In a way that is just creepy how twins sisters hadn't seen each other for 30 years and they have so much in common. I agree with the book when it states that children will grow up to be just like their parents; look at all of the doctors, allot of their kids turn out to be doctors as well.
