Within his work he makes many observations in relation to the heritability of acquired characteristics.

To what extent does genetic inheritance influence behaviour? Use relevant research studies in your response. In this essay‚ I am going to be focusing on the influence of genetic inheritance on behaviour. Behavioural genetics deals with understanding how both genetics and the environment contribute to individual variations in human behaviour. Genetic arguments of behaviour are based on the principle of inheritance. Genes and their DNA are passed down from parents to their offspring. I will be reviewing
