When the female monkeys gave birth, Harry saw his experiment develop unexpectedly into something further. The trauma that the female primates had endured shaped their motherly behavior. The mothers would often abuse their children in violent ways. There was record of one mother crushing her child’s skull while another one sat on top of their child’s chest and began to gnaw on the infant’s fingers and hands until they were no more. Body limbs were ripped off as well and tossed around the cage – The mothers were obviously exploiting the torture they had been through at the hands of Harry Harlow in his experiment that was primarily intended for primate research, but had ended up evolving into a major factor in the Nurture Versus Nature debate. Another example of Nurture being the predominant force in the psychology field of how humans are shaped is a person’s genetic health. For example, heart disease may be a hereditary factor in a family – Passed on from generation to generation. The argument of nature would defend the theory that such predisposed diseases are incurable and since our family members before us suffered through it then so do
