About The Product

The Handbook of Developmental Science, Behavior, and Genetics brings together the cutting-edge theory, research and methodology that contribute to our current scientific understanding of the role of genetics in the developmental system. 

• Commemorates the historically important contributions made by Gilbert Gottlieb in comparative psychology and developmental science
• Includes an international group of contributors who are among the most respected behavioral and biological scientists working today
• Examines the scientific basis for rejecting the reductionism and counterfactual approach to understanding the links between genes, behavior, and development
• Documents the current status of comparative psychology and developmental science and provides the foundation for future scientific progress in the field
