The best studies I have seen on the subject show that the split between nature and nurture is about 50:50. But there is also the a third alternative. That is to say that we are more than the sum of our parts.

Exactly. To separate the two (environment and genetics) and ignore the interaction is to miss the forest for the trees. Just as an interaction between two people creates it's own dynamic, different from the individual personalities that are brought into play.
