Читать книгу Child Development From Infancy to Adolescence - Laura E. Levine - Страница 205

All human beings begin with the combination of the genes of their two parents. However, we are then born into an environment that shapes the way those genes will be expressed. As we have seen, our genetic inheritance also shapes the environment we will experience. We are a long way from understanding all the complex interactions between genetic inheritance and environmental experiences. As we continue our study of child development, we examine the way development is shaped both by our genetic inheritance and by the environmental context of children’s lives.
