He will not say, "I’m Mr. Smith." |

The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrat-ed by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark．Being identical, the twins had iden-tical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same．When the twins were three monthsold, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster
