Evaluating genetic models of cognitive evolution and behaviour

摘要: Cognitive evolution can be studied at several different levels, ranging from complex societies of interdependent persons to the DNA molecules coding for enzymes that synthesize neurotransmitter molecules. Genetic models cognitive fairly evaluated only if they involve one or two genetic loci, maybe three loci a massive investment resources is made. If simple model seriously proposed, it ought tested by linkage analysis so future theorizing guided and constrained facts. For more behavioural characteristics based on large numbers genes intricate interrelations with environment, theories are not likely yield conclusive results. Instead, studying individual differences in brain neural correlates processes will provide rapid progress toward deeper understanding evolution.
