What influences the development of an organism, or organisms in general, other than genetics and environment? E. g., would ontogeny, cell structure, psychology or hormones qualify?
Aka stochastics.NoTime said:Random chance plays a part.
SF said:The difference between an individual that grows up with a leader attitude and his twin that grows up with a submissive attitude will be enormous at maturity, and this just can't be bluntly encompassed in "environment".
You should add social hierarchisation as a factor of its own.
SF said:Pyche = all the internal factors that affect the individual.
Psyche + Environment together are Nurture, or at least that's how I see it.
Yes, it seems there are some aspects of Lamarckism in this.Milo Hobgoblin said:epigenetics?? sounds Lamarckian (sp?) LOL
Some examples of influences besides genetics and environment include culture, social interactions, education, and personal experiences.
These influences can impact individuals in various ways, such as shaping their beliefs, values, and behaviors. They can also influence their physical and mental development, as well as their overall health and well-being.
While genetics and environment are largely out of our control, these other influences can be changed or controlled to some extent. For example, individuals can choose to surround themselves with different social circles or pursue different educational paths.
No, these influences can vary greatly from person to person. For instance, culture and personal experiences can differ greatly depending on an individual's background and upbringing.
Scientists use various methods to study these influences, including conducting experiments, surveys, and observations. They also analyze data and conduct research to better understand how these influences can impact individuals and society as a whole.
