A Venn diagram illustrating the relative contributions of Nature (the constitutional genome), Nurture (the environment) and Chance (stochastic events) in the determination of healthspans and lifespans as they impact upon differences among individual members of a species exhibiting contrasting healthspans and lifespans.
