A research method comparing similarities between identical and fraternal twins to estimate the relative contributions of genetics and environment to traits.
From Old English 'twinn' (double) + 'studium' (zeal). Studying twins to separate nature from nurture.
Twin studies are nature's perfect experiment — identical twins share 100% of DNA, so any differences between them must come from their environment!
