In recent years a group of scientists known as behavior geneticists have been probing the relative impact of genetic and environmental influences using twin studies and comparing adoptive and biological siblings with one another. Because twins may copy or imitate one another, researchers attempt to study identical twins raised in separate environments. Jerry Levey and Mark Newman are a case in point. As we see in this segment, every measured human trait has some degree of genetic influence, but the degree of influence varies from trait to trait.
