Abstract
Understanding the bases of complex behavioral phenotypes, such as soci opathy, is assisted by an evolutionary approach, in addition to other theoretical perspectives. Unraveling genetic and environmental factors underlying variant forms of sociopathy remains a key challenge for be havioral science investigators. Twin research methods (e.g., longitudi nal analyses; twins reared apart) offer informative means of assessing novel hypotheses relevant to sociopathic behaviors.
