We talk about people being"color﹣blind"but very few of us are．Even those who describe  themselves as color﹣blind are normally just color lack．A strongly color﹣blind person will still be able to tell 20different colors，compared to the 100or so that normal﹣sighted people see．

Pingelap，a tiny island in the Pacific，is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble．It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white．

Not being able to see in color is bad enough．But one islander，Herrol，who's a fisherman，also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt﹣out image．"I find it difficult to go outside in the sun，"he says，"because when it's sunny I cannot see to do my work．"

But if being truly color﹣blind is rare，why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap lire in a totally black and white world？

Well，we know that in 1780the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami．As few as 20people survived，one of whom was the king．It's believed he had a genetic fault that causes color﹣blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations．

There is one advantage．Herrol can see well，really well，in the dark．So when it gets dark，Herro1and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish．They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames．"This type of fishing is fun，"Herrol says，"especially if we catch plenty．So even though it's hard work we enjoy it．"

Most of us don't remember our first two or three years of life．But our earliest experiences may stick with us for years and continue to influence us well into adulthood．

A study，published in Child Development，found that the type of emotional support that a child receives during the first three and a half years has an effect on education，social life and romantic relationships even 20or 30years later．

Babies raised in supportive and caring home environments tended to do better on tests later on，and they were more likely to get higher degrees as adults．They were also more likely to get along with their classmates and feel satisfied in their romantic relationships．

"It seems like，at least in these early years，the parents'role is to communicate with the children and let them know，‘I'm here for you when you're upset，when you need me．And when you don't need me，I'm your cheerleader，'"says Lee Raby，a psychologist and researcher at the University of Delaware who led the study．

Raby used data collected from 243people who participated in the Minnesota Longitudinal Study of Risk．All the participants were followed from birth until they turned 32．"Researchers went into these kids'home at times．Other times，they brought the children and their parents to the university and observed how they communicated with each other，"says Raby．

Of course，parental behavior in the early years is just one of many influences，and it's not necessarily causing the benefits seen in the study．While summarizing the results，the researchers accounted for the participants'social status and the environment in which they grew up．

Finally，they found that about 10percent of someone's academic achievement was connected with the quality of their home life at three．Later experiences，genetic factors and even luck explain the other 90percent．
