The nature versus nurture debate, as it relates to human development, has perplexed mankind for centuries.
In the field of human behavior, the question frequently arises as to how much of human behavior is due to environment and how much is due to genetic influence. Review the Nature and Nurture Predispose to Violent Behavior article (http://www.nervenklinik.uk-wuerzburg.de/fileadmin/uk/psychiatrie/Dokumente/Forschung/Psychiatric_Neurobiology_and_Bipolar_Disorder_Program/MAO-A_and_violent_crime.pdf)

One of the goals of behavioral genetics is to identify the heritability of a particular behavior.

Review this week’s reading and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of some of the methods used to determine heritability in humans. Address the use of adoption studies and twin studies, as well as shared environmental factors and unique environmental factors.
