Humans have probably shared their homes with dogs ever since they first settled. So it could be argued that there is no such thing as “human society” without including animals as part of it. Our long ...

Personality genetics held up in a test that deflates the genetic signal behind school success, and no single variant does ...

Today, Embark Veterinary Inc., the global leader in dog health and genetics, launched Behavior Insights & Training, a new feature that translates a dog's DNA into 15 genetic behavior insights and ...

LONDON — A report released on October 2 by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics assesses the influence of genetics on patterns of behavior. It calls for intelligent use and regulation of genetics. The ...

If you take a closer look at BG research, though, you'll notice something interesting. Virtually every BG study partitions variance into three sources: genes, shared family environment, and non-shared ...

Although sedentary behavior may be an evolutionarily selected trait, it is still important to try to be physically active, says a new study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

Social behaviour can be pretty complex at the best of times, and defining the underlying genetic events has provided a formidable challenge. In the November 15 Sciencexpress, Michael Krieger and ...
