Abstract
The four chapters of this section all address a specific instance of a question that psychologists have grappled with ever since Darwin: “To what extent are individual differences attributable to heritable genetic differences, and to what extent are they attributable to species-wide lawful responses to differential experience?” Today debate over this question rages most strongly between behavior geneticists and evolutionary psychologists, but in fact, disagreement over the answer (and over which methods are best to reach an answer), has been a major cause of divisiveness throughout the history of psychology (Cronbach, 1957; Jaynes, 1969; Buss 1984).
