Full stop. The nature vs nurture debate has been going on longer than I have been alive, and probably, you, too. New technology has allowed scientists to focus on the nature side of the debate more recently, but unless you've discovered something new, there is nothing definitive saying one (nature) is more influential than the other (nurture).
The last paragraph of your article states it well:

We were talking earlier about the twins, how much can innate factors explain about human behavior. I keep in mind, as a rule of thumb, about 50 percent. The other 50 percent is about experience, is about upbringing, and these factors interact: genes, hormones and our experience all interact, and when we try to be reductionist, or try to be too simplistic, to emphasize the role of one of these factors, actually we're missing the complexity of how they interact.
