Humans develop substantially post‐birth, and the nature of their development is significantly influenced by complex interactions between genes and environments. This paper explores the nature of genetic effects, the value of distinguishing between common and unique (non‐shared) environments in twins and siblings, and considers some of the specific developmental events which impact on a child's developing nervous system.
