The human genetics related to aggression have been studied and the main genes have been identified. The DAT1 and DRD2 genes are heavily related to the genetics of aggression. [17] [18] The DAT1 gene plays a role for its heavy relation to regulation of neurotransmission. The DRD2 Gene results in humans finding seemingly rewarding paths such as ...
The start of behaviour genetics as a well-identified field was marked by the publication in 1960 of the book Behavior Genetics by John L. Fuller and William Robert (Bob) Thompson. [ 1 ] [ 10 ] It is widely accepted now that many if not most behaviours in animals and humans are under significant genetic influence, although the extent of genetic ...
Human behaviour genetics is an interdisciplinary subfield of behaviour genetics that studies the role of genetic and environmental influences on human behaviour. Classically, human behavioural geneticists have studied the inheritance of behavioural traits.

Aggression may also occur for self-protection or to protect offspring. [29] Aggression between groups of animals may also confer advantage; for example, hostile behavior may force a population of animals into a new territory, where the need to adapt to a new environment may lead to an increase in genetic flexibility.

Behavioral epigenetics is the field of study examining the role of epigenetics in shaping animal and human behavior. [1] It seeks to explain how nurture shapes nature, [2] where nature refers to biological heredity [3] and nurture refers to virtually everything that occurs during the life-span (e.g., social-experience, diet and nutrition, and exposure to toxins).

Sociobiology is a field of biology that aims to explain social behavior in terms of evolution.It draws from disciplines including psychology, ethology, anthropology, evolution, zoology, archaeology, and population genetics.
