Abstract
To what extent is animal behaviour genetically determined ? This question has been actively investigated since the time of Charles Darwin and especially since the time of another grandson of Erasmus Darwin namely Francis Galdon who might be considered as the Father of behaviour genetics. lntemst in the genetic control of behaviour has become even more strong with the advent of genetic theories for the evolution of behaviour which is what Sociobiology is all about. That genes influence behaviour has always been obvious, but to put our fingers on single well defined genes which determine well defined dilscrete behaviours has not at all been easy. The ma in reason for this must be that because behaviour is a very complex phenomenon, several genes r..robably act in concert to bring about any kiod of behaviour.
