Is behavioral genetics 'too-big-to-know' science?

Marco Battaglia. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Several new molecular findings and concepts furnish evidence in support of gene-environment interdependence, challenging some of the current tenets and basic statistics of behavioral genetics. I, however, argue that (1) some of the expectations evoked by "neogenomics" are contradicted by findings; and (2) while epigenetic and gene expression effects are complex, they can to some extent be incorporated into "classical" behavioral genetics modeling.
