Steve Jobs- Mona Simpson- Nature or Nurture?

Steve Jobs' passing away is revealing his roots and family. I find it fascinating to understand nature vs. nurture origins of a person's demeanor, life objectives etc.

I think many knew that Steve Jobs was raised by his adoptive parents. What many are discovering now is that his biological father was of Syrian origin  (still alive and living in Reno, NV). His sister Mona Simpson, from the same mother and father is also an accomplished author. So either the bilogical  father and/or mother had an extraordinary set of genes that manufested in a powerful creative capability! They seem to have so many common traits and drive, that it makes you wonder what the real role of nurture is in the overall road of life we take. Fascinating!
