Goals:  What is the nature-nurture issue?  What are key issues in behavior genetics?  What are the elements of the genetic code?  How do twin studies and adoption studies help us to learn about nature and nurture influences?  What are the research findings related to environmental influences of early brain dev, parents, peers, and culture?

Behavior Genetics  Studies how our families, friends, and culture affect us.
