Behavioral Genetics and Differences in Inherited DNA
03:04 - 11:29 (08:24)
The field of behavioral genetics aims to determine how inherited DNA sequences contribute to differences in behavior, medical predispositions, and other idiosyncrasies among individuals. With a focus on evolutionary psychology and the 0.1% of DNA that differs among individuals, this field seeks to understand the extent that inherited DNA contributes to observed differences.
