The first thing I learned in the chapter Nature, Nurture, and Human Diversity is that fraternal twins share no more dna than the average siblings. At first I thought they would share more genetics like identical twins. Seeing that they were created around the same time, but that's not the case. The reason I thought this at first was that I assumed fraternal twins came from the same egg like identical twins but they don't.

Another thing I learned was that british want more personal space. I know it's a weird thing to learn, but I always thought that most europeans, including the British, were some what in your face type of people when it comes to talking. The reason behind this is that I've heard people say that when they went to Europe the people get more into your personal space than the do here in the United States.

A third thing that I have learned is that even though women have double the vulnerability to depression and anxiety, men are four times more likely to commit suicide or have a greater alcohol dependency. You'd think since women are more prone to depression their rate of suicide would be larger than that of a male. Also on the debate on men versus women, men are more for a war than women. Explains why most of the more famous or bloody wars had men rulers. Not to discriminate against men or anything, I'm just stating my opinion.
