Summary
Investigating the evolution of human traits and the maintenance of heritable individual differences. This project will use twin studies, statistical genetics, and experimental methods to investigate genetic and environmental influences on evolutionarily relevant human traits. This will help reveal how human traits evolved and why all individuals are genetically different despite Darwinian selection favouring only the most advantageous genes.
