Abstract
Studies of the genetics of behavior have centered on identifying a single gene connected with a particular trait. However, as Dean Hamer explains in his Perspective, the complexity of human behavior necessitates more sophisticated approaches to unraveling the gene networks associated with particular behavioral traits.
