The Five Laws of Behavioral Genetics - JayMan's Blog

Complexity: 6 Rating: 7


The five laws of behavioral genetics are:

    All human behavioral traits are heritable
    The effect of being raised in the same family is smaller than the effect of the genes.
    A substantial portion of the variation in complex human behavioral traits is not accounted for by the effects of genes or families.
    A typical human behavioral trait is associated with very many genetic variants, each of which accounts for a very small percentage of the behavioral variability.
    All phenotypic relationships are to some degree genetically mediated or confounded.
