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-- .

The essays address basic conceptual methodological and ethical issues raised by genetic research on criminal behavior but largely ignored in the public debate. They explore the complexities in tracing any genetic influence on criminal violent or antisocial behavior the varieties of interpretation to which evidence of such influences is subject and the relevance of such influences to the moral and legal appraisal of criminal conduct.

br. Edoardo Boncinelli ci guida attraverso una delle più affascinanti avventure scientifiche di sempre. Dalla genetica pionieristica al trionfo del concetto di gene e alla decifrazione del codice genetico. Gli studi per comprendere la regolazione dell'azione genica negli animali superiori e il punto sulle attuali conoscenze nel campo, inclusa la mappatura del genoma e la cosiddetta epigenetica. Una storia, da Mendel ai giorni nostri, che non si sottrae alle questioni più controverse.

br. Dal 1968 al 1981 Edoardo Boncinelli ha dedicato tutte le sue energie ad allevare drosofile, quei "moscerini della frutta" che sono l'incubo di ogni cucina ma che hanno fra gli scienziati molti estimatori. La biologia era allora in un momento di lenta e inesorabile trasformazione. La ricerca mirava a comprendere i meccanismi che regolano l'espressione dei geni, che sarebbero stati scoperti uno dopo l'altro in un'esaltante epopea scientifica. Boncinelli questa avventura l'ha vissuta da protagonista e sul filo dei ricordi la ripercorre nei suoi snodi cruciali, a cominciare dalla scoperta dei geni architetto dell'uomo, frutto di un'intuizione fortuita avuta chiacchierando con un collega. È il primo passo di un viaggio che lo porterà a indagare le dinamiche dello sviluppo del cervello e ad addentrarsi nel complesso e affascinante universo delle neuroscienze. È la vita di uno scienziato animato fin da bambino da una inesauribile sete di conoscenza, quella che si dispiega nelle pagine di questo libro, intessuta di faticose e inebrianti giornate in laboratorio ma anche di affetti e amicizie saldissime. Una vita assaporata sullo sfondo delle città più amate - Firenze, Napoli, Trieste - ma anche di un mondo girato freneticamente per condividere le proprie conquiste con la comunità scientifica. La ricerca attiva ha con gli anni lasciato il posto al pensiero e alla riflessione, ma questo "ribelle esorbitantemente disciplinato" non ha rinunciato a dare il suo contributo.

br. Per gran parte del ventesimo secolo si è assunto che fossero i soli geni a mediare la trasmissione di informazioni biologiche da una generazione all'altra, fornendo la materia prima della selezione naturale. Recenti studi hanno dimostrato che i geni non costituiscono l'unica base dell'eredità dei caratteri. I biologi evoluzionisti Russell Bonduriansky e Troy Day discutono in questo libro l'apporto fornito dalle ultime ricerche alla comprensione del meccanismo dell'ereditarietà, mostrando come tutto ciò che accade nel corso della nostra vita - e ciò che è accaduto nel corso di quella dei nostri genitori e dei nostri nonni - possa influenzare le caratteristiche dei nostri discendenti. Sulla base di questa acquisita evidenza, i due studiosi sviluppano una concezione estesa di eredità che sovverte le idee tradizionali relative al modo in cui i caratteri possono o non possono essere trasmessi attraverso le generazioni, aprendo le porte a una nuova comprensione dei concetti di ereditarietà, evoluzione e persino di salute umana.

br. L'epigenetica è una branca della genetica che descrive tutte quelle modificazioni ereditabili che variano l'espressione genica pur non alterando la sequenza del DNA. La psiconeuroendocrinoimmunologia (PNEI) è una disciplina che si occupa delle relazioni fra il funzionamento del sistema nervoso, del sistema immunitario e del sistema endocrino. Si tratta di un saggio breve con l'obiettivo di comunicare, in forma chiara e scientificamente aggiornata, i cambiamenti che sono giunti a maturazione nel campo della biologia molecolare (l'epigenetica) e dell'organismo nel suo insieme (la psiconeuroendocrinoimmunologia come visione sistemica della salute e della malattia).
