Sir Francis Galton, epigenetic rules, genetic similarity theory, and human life-history analysis.

Journal of personality - 1 Mar 1990

Rushton J P

Abstract excerpt

In this article, an evolutionary perspective is applied to individual differences. Among the issues discussed are (a) the seminal contributions of Francis Galton and the subsequent ideological reaction, (b) the distal proximal continuum for understanding levels of explanation in social behavior, (c) consistent patterns of group differences in behavior (age, sex, social class,and race), (d) the heritability of...
