The majority of genetic variation in orangutan personality and subjective well-being is nonadditive.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2012

Adams Mark James, King James E, Weiss Alexander

Abstract excerpt

The heritability of human personality is well-established. Recent research indicates that nonadditive genetic effects, such as dominance and epistasis, play a large role in personality variation. One possible explanation for the latter finding is that there has been recent selection on human personality. To test this possibility, we estimated additive and nonadditive genetic variance in personality and subjective...
