Description

Explore a critical reassessment of twin research in the social and behavioral sciences with this academic volume from Routledge. Psychologist Jay Joseph investigates the common genetic explanations used to describe human behavioral differences and questions their validity based on current research findings. This book addresses the long-standing challenge of identifying specific genes responsible for human traits such as IQ, personality, and major psychiatric disorders. By examining the existing body of work, Joseph highlights the gaps between twin study conclusions and the actual discovery of genetic markers. Readers will find a detailed examination of twin research methods, with a specific focus on studies involving twins reared apart. This volume provides updated perspectives and new evidence to help students, researchers, and academics understand the complexities and potential fallacies within the field of behavioral genetics.
