nature vs nurture

Attributing human behaviour to nature or nuture seems to be something which is hotly debated, on very little evidence.


An example is female characteristics. Many feminists would say these are learned from an early age and are not inherited. If this is the case, they are learned at a very early age, so it is impossible to prove this.

On the other hand, is there a "gay" gene? Some people say there is, so there is no such thing as indoctrination into a lifestyle. Again, has anyone seen any evidence of this?
