Multidisciplinary research on the genetic contributions to criminal and antisocial behavior for behavioral geneticists theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- Criminal and antisocial behaviour threaten cooperative social organization and each culture has developed methods to isolate and punish criminals. However criminal behaviour has not been eliminated in any culture and so it is rational to try to use scientific approaches to explain the origins and causes of criminal behaviour and to suggest ways of preventing crime or rehabilitating offenders. There has been extensive research on environmental causes of criminal behaviour: this book examines the evidence for genetic contributions. Twin and adoption studies suggest that there may be genetic contributions to some criminal behaviours. The data are examined in detail in this book which includes discussion of the methodological problems of disentangling genetic and environmental sources of variance in behaviour. In animals aggression is commonly an appropriate response to environmental stimuli: data from the relevant animal studies of the inheritance of aggressiveness are included in the book. There have been reports suggesting neuropharmacological abnormalities in violent offenders. These represent potential underlying mechanisms whereby genetic influences could be mediated. The recent evidence regarding brain and in particular neurotransmitter abnormalities is discussed. A heritable tendency to behave in a particular way would have significant implications for criminology particularly for rehabilitation strategies. Important issues also arise for moral philosophy. Separate chapters examine evolutionary and anthropological aspects of violence and warfare. The book is truly multidisciplinary and contains contributions from behavioural geneticists population geneticists evolutionary theorists neuroscientists philosophers and criminologists. -- with a bonus offer-- .

Internally clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First edition of a groundbreaking work in genetics in which Johannsen introduces the concept of "pure line". Johannsen's work is dedicated to Francis Galton "the creator of the exact science of heredity". Johannsen was the first to attribute to mutation the origin of the small differences in the continous kind of variability characteristic of normal heredity."Yet Johannsen had shown that Galton's "law of regression" was wrong when applied as Galton had done - to impure or mixed populations. He proved that selection was ineffective - that is regression to parental averages was complete - only in the offspring derived by self-fertilization from a single parent as in peas beans and other "selfers." The offspings and descendants from such a plant Johannsen referred to as a "pure line". His theory was that offspring of a pure line were genetically identical and that fluctuating variability among such offspring was due to effects of change and enviromental factors. These effects were not heritable and hence were not subject to the action of selection either natural or artificial."DSB VII p. 114.Garrison & Morton No. 242. </em> hardcover

Near Fine With Just A Trace Of Rubbing At Corners And On Spine Gilt Brilliant Cloth And Contents Immaculate. A Classic Of Semi-Science First Published In Italy In 1906 This Being The First Edition In English. Per Wikipedia: Eugenio Vittorio Rignano 1870 In Livorno - 1930 Was A Jewish Italian Philosopher. He Was Born In Livorno To Giacomo Rignano And Fortunata Tedesco Into A Jewish Family. Rignano Edited The Journal Rivista Di Scienza Later Known As Scientia It. His Book The Psychology Of Reasoning 1923 Influenced The Social Anthropologist Edward Evans-Pritchard. His Book Man Not A Machine 1926 Was Replied To By Joseph Needham's Man A Machine 1927. Rignano Took Interest In Biology And Wrote A Book That Argued For The Inheritance Of Acquired Characteristics. He Advanced A Moderated Lamarckian Hypothesis Of Inheritance Known As "Centro-Epigenesis". His Views Were Controversial And Not Accepted By Most In The Scientific Community. His Book The Nature Of Life 1930 Was Described In A Review As Presenting A "Militant At Times Almost An Evangelical Exposition And Defense Of An Energetic Vitalism." However Historian Peter J. Bowler Has Written That Rignano Rejected Both Materialism And Vitalism And Adopted A Similar Position To What Was Known As Emergent Evolution. Li Dazhao One Of The Founders Of The China Communist Party Was An Avid Reader Of Rignano's Works And Chinese Communist Emphasis On Absolute Control Of All Conduct May Be Influenced By The Belief That It Will Result In Changed Behavior Forever In Future Generations Their Stated Goal. . Rignano's Views On Acquired Characteristics And Organic Memory Are Discussed In Detail By Historian Laura Otis And Psychologist Daniel Schacter. The Finding That The Immune System Does Indeed Acquire Inheritable Characteristics Puts Much Of The Lamarckian Debate Into A New And Politically Distressing Light. <br/> <br/> The Open Court Publishing Co hardcover
