The phenotype is produced by an interaction between the individual’s genetic makeup (or ‘geno-type’) and the environment. The source of variation is genetic mutation, whereby physical changes occur in DNA (the genetic code).
This journal publishes manuscripts that advance the study of human behavior from an evolutionary perspective, with an emphasis on work that integrates evolutionary theory with other approaches and perspectives from across the behavioral sciences.
Reconstructing the evolution of behavior from paleontology and ar-cheology is limited and, at best, de-pendent upon correlations among extant primate taxa and/or extrapola-tions from the behavior of modern humans to unique situations in the past.
An evolutionary approach is a powerful framework which can bring new perspectives on any aspect of human behavior, to inform and complement those from other disciplines, from psychology and anthropology to economics and politics.
We first explain how genetically informative data and designs can be used to investigate questions about the evolution of human behavior, and describe some of the findings arising from these approaches.
