Unless it culture wide problematic nurture! Then silence and passing the ball back to nature!
Oh, and unrealistic, idealising nurture due to unwillingness to look at nature. That nurtures problems, we do not deal with rational, instead we accumulate problems and shift the blame, until the buildup throws society on the side.
Oh, and if invisible nature, we pretend to nurture, then blame the failings on the individual.
Yes, im fun at parties.

I don’t read anything in the article related to nurture vs nature. Can you explain why you mention it?

#6Back when I used to do pedigree analysis, the general rule of thumb was 1/10 chance that the father wasn't what was stated in the pedigree.
You would run the analysis and get absolute nonsense results, and then you'd swap a father for an uncle, or a mother for her daughter, and the alleles would all just suddenly line up.
We would never tell the families, and since the pedigrees were anonymized before being published there was no need to. Some secrets are just best kept buried.

#7The language usage is a bit weird.
It seems that caring at all if your child is yours is "obsession" and "fixation".
Quite judgemental word choice for something rather normal.

#9Quick numbers:
- Belgium and Netherlands: ~1.5%
- 19th century European city dwellers: ~6%
- Certain tribes in Namibia with cultural multiple partners: ~48%
City dwelling was always higher than rural in Western cultures.
