"The Trouble with Twin Studies questions popular genetic explanations of human behavioral
differences based upon the existing body of twin research. Psychologist Jay Joseph
outlines the fallacies of twin studies in the context of the ongoing decades-long
failure to discover genes for human behavioral differences, including IQ, personality,
and the major psychiatric disorders. This volume critically examines twin research,
with a special emphasis on reared-apart twin studies, and incorporates new and updated
perspectives, analyses, arguments, and evidence."
