This series of seven documentaries hosted by a Norwegian comedian tackles the nature/nurture debate on various topics.

The episodes are titled as follows:

The Gender Equality Paradox
The Parental Effect
Gay/Straight
Violence
Sex
Race
Nature or Nurture

Here is a link to episode one of a playlist containing all seven:

I haven't watched episode seven yet, but I really enjoyed the series so far. The presenter is sharp and does a good job questioning the people he interviews.

Cant remember where I found out about it, Reddit perhaps, but I think it's well worth sharing.

It's from 2010 so if you are super up-to-date on this stuff maybe it's a little dated. I have no idea where research is today.

If it's remotely in your field of interest, I suggest checking it out.

It's obviously a combination of them both, trying to boil down such a complex problem into a black and white solution is a fool's errand

Quite interesting. Reminds me of a documentary on a gypo adopted by a Swedish couple, 20 years later he had a visit to his real parents in Bulgaria, he seemed pretty well mannered and behaved, cant tell how things are on the IQ side, but he definitely looked very differently from the ones here.

75% nature/25% nurture is the best answer
