Lecture 6 - october 11, 2016 - week 3. Gagneaux, mel, blumenfield suggest that traits result from dynamic interactions of elements at different levels of analysis, all within complex developmental system long way from gene to behavior. Sense of indirect relationship bw genes and traits as way of exploring complexity of interpreting nature/nurture. Research where recourse for explanation is the genes or environment to one where development over time seems essential explanatory resource. Have to look at development as huge system. Francis galton - nature/nurture is independent, nature more influential than nurture. Predetermined epigenesis - genes are core determiners of phenotypic traits and behaviors with the individual"s experiences shaping the final results: assumptions. Some single gene or assemble of genes is causally responsible for specific traits. Nature in form of genes supplies plan facilitated and hsped in many respects by environment.
