Minnesota Twin Study

The Minnesota Twin Study is a research project that investigates how genetics and environment influence human traits by studying identical and fraternal twins, often raised apart or together. By comparing twins with the same genetic makeup to those with different genetics, researchers aim to understand how much of our personality, intelligence, and behaviors are inherited versus shaped by our environment. This study provides valuable insights into the nature versus nurture debate, highlighting the role of genetics in human development while also acknowledging environmental influence.
