Document Summary
Sssm: the standard social science model is a summary of current thoughts about human nature, including the assumptions that underlie most undergraduate curriculum and popular press reports on human issues. Researchers then estimate how much of the variance of the trait in the population is accounted for by genetic relatedness. Adoption studies: heritability studies in which the correlation of a trait between adopted children and their adoptive parents is compared to the correlation of the trait between biologically related parents, children, and siblings living in different households. Twin studies: a special type of family study in heritability. Concordance of a trait among monozygotic twins is compared to the concordance of the trait among dizygotic twins, allowing for the estimate of genetic relatedness contributing to the variance of the trait in the population. Facultative adaptation: an adaptation that is designed to respond to specific cues in the environment, thus preparing organisms for the varying conditions that were possible in the eea.
