Böcker av Gilbert Gottlieb

First Published in 2001. This work is intended to portray the interrelationship of heredity, individual development, and the evolution of species in a way that can be understood by nonspecialists.

This volume provides a primarily non-technical summary of experimental and theoretical work on the nature-nurture problem. It suggests that the relationship beween genes and early experiences opens up the evolution of the mind - in the womb and during childhood.

This work covers topics such as conceptions of development, Lamarck and the idea of the evolution of species, the foundation of the quantitative study of heredity and nature versus nurture.
