Nature v Nurture

This article discusses something about childhood development. It's not a topic I'm particularly interested in, really, but I was interested by the "environment can affect biology" angle, a view almost entirely absent (in my opinion) from science reporting.

The overall article is fascinating, but I think the opening sentence officially blew my mind. I had no idea that we'd identified hormones essential to forming social bonds and achieving emotional intimacy. I will need to mull and integrate this.
