Studies have also clearly shown that behaviors, and other traits, are influenced not just by genes and the environment, but also by the statistical interaction between the two. This book aims to end the nature versus nurture argument by showing that behaviors are nature and nurture and the interaction between the two, and by illustrating how single genes can explain some of the variation in behaviors even when they are seemingly complex.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGenes and Behaviour: Beyond Nature-Nurture\u003c\/i\u003e puts to rest the nature versus nurture dichotomy, providing an up-to-date synopsis of where we are, how far we've come and where we are headed. It considers the effects of a dual-inheritance of genes and culture, and genes and social environment, and highlights how indirect genetic effects can affect the evolution of behavior. It also examines the effect of non-self genes on the behavior of hosts, shines a light on the nature and nurturing of animal minds and invites us to embrace all the complexity nature \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e nurture generates, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores exciting new findings about behavior and where we go from here\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures contributions by top scholars of the subject\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeeks to end the nature versus nurture debate forever\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGenes and Behaviour: Beyond Nature-Nurture\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique, and eye-opening read that will appeal to Ph.D. Students, post-doctoral fellows, and researchers in evolution and behavior.
