<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone here recommend material on the study of
behavioral genetics and the selection pressure for the human ability to quickly
overcome genetic behavior through conditioning? I had a thought that human
learning, achievement, fashion and social skills all stem from a neat trick we
picked up that allows us to adapt our behavior in the current generation in
response to our environment rather than waiting dozens of generations for
selection to work it's long process. Add a feedback loop and you have a
prescription for a species who's social structure evolves faster than the
physical structure. All of what we are may be wrapped up in a minor adaptation
that allows us to essentially reprogram behavior on the fly. I thought I would
spend some time studying this, but I am finding it difficult to find material.
Either there just isn't much yet, or I am simply barking up the wrong tree.
