Chapter 13: The Five Forces Behind Human Evolution
Five different forces have influenced human evolution: natural selection, random genetic drift, mutation, population mating structure, and culture. All evolutionary biologists ... Genetic variation fuels natural selection and genetic inheritance transmits adaptive traits from one generation to the next. If all the members of a species were ...

psych.colorado.eduPsychology 3102: Introduction to Behavioral Genetics (Carey) Problem Set: Heritability and Environmentability Two basic equations are required to calculate heritability and environmentability. The first equation is h2 + e2 = 1 where h2 is the heritability and e2 is the environmentability. This equation simply states that the total …
