Of course, but the point is, identical twins are consistently more similar than fraternal twins.

Furthermore, identical twins are about as similar when growing up together, as when growing up apart.



They also happen to share 9 months of very important "nurture" in the womb.


This can all be better explained by interactions between culture and genes, than by just genes. But the studies tend to ignore those, because they're too hard to deal with.

(If anyone knows a twin study which does adequately deal with gene/culture interactions, please post it.)
