(April 14, 2010) Robert Sapolsky continues his series addressing the link between behavior and genetics. He covers the complex endeavor of gene isolation and variability and heritability and wrongly eliminated environmental influences in heritability tests -- finding that genes and environment are infinitely interconnected and co-dependent on each other.

  • I have not been able to find lecture 8 of this series.

    I want to thank Stanford University for making these lectures available to the world. It is incredibly enriching (and fun) to listen and learn from Dr. Sapolsky.

    Thank you!

  • @thankqwerty One that was certainly programmed to NEVER catch what he is writing on the board.

  • Please help I am non science guy!

    Is Robert Saplosky saying that if someone decides to wear earings the habit will become genetic? And my offspring will wear an earing.

  • Thank you Dr. Sapolsky :)

  • @KenMacMillan They put it up later. Thank you for the link - I wish they had more courses in its entirety.

  • stress - diathesis model for psychiatric disease.

  • Seems the gene and its 'context' IS the environment, distinguishable, yet meaningless without both. And that make sense since adaptation is to the environment -meaning best fitting to survive and perpetuate in that context. Best fit, not 'intelligent design'.

  • very important part starting at 39:00

  • jesus first you don't show the foxes and now you don't show the board at all, nice work camera man.

  • Very intellectual man.
