Quotes by Paul R. Ehrlich (?)

“Trying to separate the contributions of nature and nurture to an attribute is rather like trying to separate the contributions of length and width to the area of a rectangle, which at first glance also seems easy. When you think about it carefully, though, it proves impossible.”
― Paul R. Ehrlich, Human Natures: Genes, Cultures, and the Human Prospect
