What makes our individual attitudes, lifestyle and personalities different has been the subject of many physiological and psychological theories. In this book the emphasis is on understanding the genetic and environmental causes of these differences.

The book should be required reading for psychologists, psychiatrists, sociobiologists, and geneticists.
