Since the discovery of DNA structure, people have believed that genes have an impact only on people’s physical structure. However, the study of mapping of genes in 2001 found that there is a genetic responsibility to human’s physical and psychological behaviors, which has changed the way we understand our behaviors. Findings from behavioural genetic research have broadly impacted modern understanding of the role of genetic and environmental influences on behaviour. The research on genes has provided integrating information, and the findings can benefit biologists, psychologists and neuroscientists. Qualitative research has fostered arguments that behavioural genetics is an ungovernable field without scientific norms or consensus, which fosters controversy.
Since the discovery of DNA structure, people have believed that genes have an impact only on people’s physical features including height, hair etc.
But the study of genetic mapping in 2001 found that gene is responsible for human’s physical and psychological behaviours, which has changed the way we understand our behaviours.
The research on genes has integrated useful information, thus it contributes to neuroscience, biology, sociology and psychology.
