Mechanistic quantification of the effects of genes, environment, and development on human behaviour

2025-03-17

Abstract excerpt

A long-standing question is to what extent behaviour is determined by genes, environment, or else. Common practice estimates genetic components using heritability, which is correlational, population-level, and variously problematic to measure genetic contribution. Ideally, contributions would be quantified via experimental intervention, which is often infeasible for humans and other organisms, but possible in sil...
