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 t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Nature, Nurture, and Nature-by-Nurture – Killing the Dichotomy 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eDavid J.
