Abstract
Behavioural genetics is about partitioning the sources of individual differences in
any trait that can be measured reliably. The fundamental question is how much of the
observed variability in a given trait can be explained by the fact that people have different
genes, and how much can be explained by the fact that people have been exposed
to different environments.
