Evolutionary and genetic basis of education:What a logitudinal twin study shows

摘要：

Although education is one of the most distinguishing behaviors in human,some spices such as meerkats shows a precursor of teaching behavior,which suggest the evolutionary basis of human education.It was reported that human infants start active teaching from one year and half.Twins tried to teach social rules and symbols instead of foraging in animals.Our longitudinal and cross-sectional twin studies showed that genes and environments are both important,that there are developmental changes in genetic influence and that genes and environmental effects interact with each other.Education is adaptive activity toward inner,as well as outer,environment not only socially but also biologically.
