Genes and Behavior

Category: Behavioral Biology
Posted on: November 27, 2007 3:33 PM, by Greg Laden

This we know to be true because millions, zillions, of years of evolution must have shaped genes ... especially in mammals with with their whopping big brains and all ... to have genetically coded behaviors.http://www.bloggingwv.com/love-everybody-even-the-squirrelly-ones/
