Why Am I?: The Science of Us (also known as Predict My Future: The Science of Us) is a 2016 New Zealand documentary series about the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a long-running cohort study following 1037 people born in Dunedin, New Zealand during 1972 and 1973. The study revealed the result of the combined effects of hereditary (genes) and environment (upbringing) on how people turn out. These children have become the most studied people in the world. For over four decades every aspect of their health and development has been monitored , the result is the Dunedin Longitudinal Study - the broadest and most in-depth study of human beings in the world." -- Wikipedia.
