GENErICS AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR

GENETIC thinking in the sciences of human and infra­human behavior has ranged from extreme emphasis on genetic determinism to virtual denial of the impor­tance of heritability. This variation in emphasis can be partially attributed to the sociopolitical attitudes prevalent among scientists of a given period. Liberal attitudes are presumed to be correlated with acceptance of an environmental approach, whereas conservative attitudes are thought to be more compatible with a genetic view of behavior. A more important determi­nant of the relative emphasis given heredity and en­vironment is the developmental level of a field in which this kind of dichotomy has not been rejected. As the social sciences matured, the nature-nurture controversy declined in importance and a more sophisticated view was adopted. Contemporary social scientists no longer adhere to a simplistic environmental determinism, just as contemporary biologists no longer embrace a genetic determinism. In both fields the importance of an inter­action between the organism and his environment is recognized. Neither the genetic parameter nor the en­vironmental parameter alone can account for more than a portion of behavioral variability.

With the development of an interactional approach, a revitalized interest in the genetics of behavior has been witnessed. Evidence for this growing interest has been ably documented by Gardner Lindzey in his paper,

"Genetics and the Social Sciences," which appeared in the September 1964 issue of I terns. In this paper Lindzey reviewed the role that genetic thinking has played in social science research in such areas as social class and intelligence, race differences, and behavior pathology. Along with these more general issues, Lindzey discussed the concerns of the Council's Committee on Genetics and Behavior, which had then completed its third year. Among its activities were a training institute on be­havior genetics, held in the summer of 1964 at the University of California, Berkeley, under the general direction of Gerald McClearn, and a European confer­ence on human behavior genetics arranged by J. N. Spuhler for the purpose of improving communication between European and American scholars who shared an interest in the genetic basis of human behavior. 1

In the years since the publication of Lindzey's paper, a number of developments have taken place in the com­mittee's responsibilities and activities. Among the more important of these has been the recent change in the committee's mandate to include nongenetic aspects of the interrelationship between biology and social science. Now called the Committee on Biological Bases of So­cial Behavior,2 it is currently planning a number of training programs and conferences designed to dissemi-

nate among social scientists greater knowledge concern­ing biological concepts and methods. It is hoped that these efforts will stimulate research in significant areas of biology and behavior.

These developments are taking place as a result in part of the committee's sponsorship of a conference on genetics and behavior in collaboration with Russell Sage Foundation and Rockefeller University.8 The con­ference was held on November 18-19, 1966 in Caspary Auditorium on the Rockefeller campus. The organiza­tion of the conference was guided by the premise that recent advances in research on genetics portend serious social, ethical, and legal consequences in the not too distant future.4 It is important that these consequences be specified and studied by both biological and social scientists. The latter, in particular, are equipped by training and implicitly committed to make substantial contributions in this area. However, social scientists often lack the knowledge of behavior genetics necessary for sophisticated analysis of the social consequences of new knowledge resulting from research on genetics. The specialist in genetics, on the other hand, often lacks the interest or skill necessary for examination of the broad implications of his research. The purpose of the conference was to enable participants ~ drawn from both groups of scientists to benefit from exposure to the work

a This conference was the second in a series of three conferences on Biology and Behavior being sponsored by Russell Sage Foundation and Rockefeller University. The first conference dealt with neurophysiology and emotion; the third will consider environmental influences on behavior.

GENETICS AND THE STUDY OF INTELLIGENCE

The first session, which was chaired by David Ham­burg, began with an address by Steven Vandenberg of the University of Louisville School of Medicine on genetic factors in intelligence. Following earlier work­ers in the area (e.g., Thurstone), Vandenberg defined intelligence in terms of six factors or abilities: numeri­cal, spatial, reasoning, vocabulary size, word fluency, and memory. He stated that intelligence is no longer con­sidered a unitary variable and that investigators using an over-all IQ score miscalculate the interaction be­tween the environment and the individual's genotype. Vandenberg went on to point out that only where the criterion of performance is speed do genetic parameters emerge as primary determining factors. Using any other criterion, one must take account of individual motiva­tion and social norms. For example, where motivation to succeed is minimal and there are proscriptions against competitive behavior, the individual may obtain a low IQ score but in fact be outstanding on one or more dimensions of intelligence. This statement takes on added significance when problems of educating children from so-called culturally deprived urban environments are considered.

Vandenberg devoted a good part of his paper to dis­cussion of the approaches used to assess the contributions of genetic factors to the development of intellectual abilities. These approaches include studies of the family, of adopted children, and of twins, as well as experiments on the effects of inbreeding. He concluded that the re­sults of longitudinal studies of identical twins reared together and apart probably constitute the only reliable body of evidence on the contribution of genetic com­ponents to intelligence. Even here, however, Vanden­berg introduces a note of caution, pointing out that whatever behavioral uniformities have been observed in twins could be attributed to factors other than the genotype, for example, equivalent environments in which motivation to succeed is encouraged or dis­couraged.

Vandenberg's paper was discussed by David Rosenthal of the National Institute of Mental Health and Irving Gottesman of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine. Rosenthal took a pessimistic view of the prog­ress of genetic psychology over the last three decades.

VOLUME 21, NU)(JIER 1

In his view there has been a basic failure in statistical studies of twins, namely, inability to demonstrate equal­ity of the two environments in which pairs were reared. He believes this failure may have arisen from the fact that human behavior geneticists have too long focused on heredity to the virtual neglect of the interaction of heredity and environment. At present there is no sound technique for separating a genetic component from en­vironmental parameters. Rosenthal proposed several paradigms for studying this interaction, including a technique he used in his research on schizophrenia in which children of two groups of parents were studied: In one group one parent was schizophrenic, and in the other neither parent had any known psychiatric dis­order. The children of both groups were given up for adoption at an early age, so in this study genetic and rearing variables are not confounded. The observed dif­ferences in personality between the two sets of children are assumed to reflect contributions of the schizophrenic genotype. Rosenthal suggested that a similar model could be used in studies of intellectual abilities.

GENETICS AND THE STUDY OF SOCIAL INTERACTION

The second session of the conference, chaired by Rich­ard Solomon of the University of Pennsylvania, was devoted to discussion of the literature on behavior gene­tics in infrahuman species and its relevance for the un­derstanding of human social behavior. The principal speaker at this session was William Thompson of Queen's University, Ontario. He began his paper with the state­ment that in research on behavior genetics problems should be selected with reference to important issues in the social sciences. The phenotypes must be chosen for their relevance to problems of behavior, not for con­venience of genetic analysis. In his view the central problem of behavior genetics is the genetic basis of the organism's susceptibility to environmental influence, i.e., "the degree to which the phenotypic expression of a given genotype changes from one environment to another." An important implication of this position is that modem eugenics must be concerned with the ma­nipulation of phenotypes through environmental change rather than with the organization of breeding patterns in the population. But, as Thompson notes, this can only be done if more is known about the interaction of genotype and environment and about the susceptibility of each genotype at different periods of development.

Thompson proceeded to specify the relevance of these behavioral genetic questions for social behavior, particu­larly for patterns of social interaction and aggression. On the basis of a thorough review of animal experi-

MARCH 1967

ments, he concluded that early in life the organism is capable of being altered in various ways, including changes in its temperament and attitude or social pos­ture toward other members of its species. Later in de­velopment the shaping of behavior patterns becomes possible. In order to assess the susceptibility to environ­mental influence of each of these variables, behavior geneticists must study given phenotypes of each over a wide variety and range of environments. Where such research has already been carried out,6 Thompson be­lieves that the genetic make-up of the organism is a primary factor in development.

In commenting on Thompson's paper, John Fuller of the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory indicated agreement with the view that behavior genetics "exists primarily to serve the behavioral sciences." He went on to suggest three social science areas in which genetic information is sorely needed. First, increasing popula­tion pressures require decisions of a eugenic nature, but knowledge of human genetics is inadequate for develop­ment of positive programs in this area. Second, the COll­

cept of interaction of genotype and environment needs to be translated into a concrete set of operations. In Fuller's words, "By the early identification of genotypes which are usually inferior, we may be able to select a special environment which will enable that genotype to function more adequately than it normally would." The third area of social science research that Fuller be­lieves would profit from genetic research relates to the effects of increasing population density and changing educational policies on human breeding patterns.

GENETICS AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

The major address of the conference was delivered by Theodosius Dobzhansky at the third session, which was chaired by Carl Pfaffmann of Rockefeller University. Dobzhansky observed that many social scientists in the period since the 1930's have been skeptical of the rele­vance of genetics to the understanding of social and cul­tural processes in human societies, but he noted: "Some straws in the wind indicate that the attitudes are chang­ing on both sides of the biology-sociology fence. To say that man is an animal is true, but that is only part of the story. Biologists must recognize that man is a great deal more than an animal, or at least that he is a very special kind of animal. And more and more social scientists accept that human nature is not a constant. Instead of a single invariant and unchanging human nature, there are about as many different human na-

tures as there are persons living. This does not mean, of course, that what a person is or can become is fore­ordained by his fixed nature, but neither are the genetic differences so insignificant as to be negligible. The stock argument of some psychologists and sociologists is that since educators and social workers cannot do anything about people's heredity they may as well forget about it. In reality they can do a lot about it; if they recognize that the human natures are not uniform but multiform, they may take steps to provide conditions in which ~verybody, or as nearly everybody as possible, is able to do his best."

Dobzhansky then proceeded to review some of his own recent experiments in population genetics, specifically on the possible genetic consequences of assortative mat­ing in certain species of Drosophila selected for either of two behavioral traits, positive and negative photo- and geotaxis. It is his view that such studies provide a labo­ratory model analogous to patterns of social mobility in human populations.

POPULATION SIZE AND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR

The principal speaker at the fourth session, chaired by Rene Dubos of Rockefeller University, was V. C. Wynne-Edwards of the University of Aberdeen. His topic was the role of social competition in natural selec­tion. He noted that in a variety of species (e.g., beetles, moths, laboratory rats, and birds), there are unlearned mechanisms that regulate mortality and replenishment of the population, thereby controlling its density. Al­though available food supply is an important factor af­fecting population density, the animal's requirements for space are even more important. It is the way in which animals distribute themselves over a restricted space that regulates the demand for food and hence limits the total population. Through competition for space between members of a society, the population is kept at an optimum level relative to the food supply.

Wynne-Edwards illustrated his theory of population control by describing his own research on the red grouse, a species of bird which lives on the Scottish moors. Heather is the main diet of this species and grows in sufficient quantity to support more grouse than the pres­ent population density of approximately 50 per square kilometer. It would seem that the birds regulate their concentration through a process of "social selection," which leads to the expulsion of those grouse that can­not win a territory. It is estimated that approximately 90 percent of the mortality of red grouse is attributable to forced exclusion from the group and consequent poor nutrition. To replace the remaining 10 percent that die from "normal" causes, the red grouse society recruits

4

birds that were formally expelled but continue to live on the periphery of society.

Wynne-Edwards hypothesized that the same type of socially structured competition may have a selective in­fluence on human populations. Indeed, he suggested that the central biological function of society (human and infrahuman) is to provide normative regulation of social competition, toward the end of maintaining an equilibrium between population and resources. In this conventionalized competition, genetic factors also play a role. What probably happens in every generation is that "feeble combinations of genes tend to be squeezed out, and those that are good enough to secure for their owners a respectable rating as individuals come through the social mill."

Alexander Kessler of the World Health Organization, Geneva, and Gerald McClearn of the University of Colo­rado were the two discussants of Wynne-Edwards' paper. Kessler agreed with the thesis that the social ecology of natural populations can act as a prime force in popu­lation control and maintenance. He reported results of his own studies of mice in support of the Wynne­Edwards hypothesis-studies aimed at clarifying the re­lationships among such factors as social organization, density, and genetic changes.

McClearn, whose comments concerned some of the broader social implications of Wynne-Edwards' paper, was particularly impressed by the research on the red grouse and agreed that the findings might also apply in a general sense to man. He noted that our species may "ultimately either undergo the rigors of selection aris­ing from overcrowding, or we will employ some meaUil of controlling the birth rate. In the case of the latter outcome ... it will be difficult or impossible to design a program that limits the quantity of humans without raising the issue of quality." Unfortunately, McClearn warned, we are ill-prepared for this eventuality. Rela­tively little information has been compiled concerning the genetics of behavioral traits in man, particularly from an evolutionary perspective. McClearn argued persuasively for more research aimed at gathering facts that he believes to be essential to rational social plan­ning and population control.

GENETICS AND SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH

Marvin Bressler of Princeton University delivered the major paper at the final section of the confer­ence, chaired by Kingsley Davis of the University of California, Berkeley. Bressler's central theme was the distrust of contemporary sociologists for biogenetic ex­planations of human behavior. According to Bressler, this distrust arises "partially because historical formu-

VOLUME 21, NUMBER 1

lations such as those represented by Spencer and Mc­Dougal are demonstrably false, partially because the necessity of specialization and the rejection of 'reduc­tionism' has made scholarly insularity a virtue; and, to a large extent, because of the view that biological theories necessarily lead to predatory ethics."

Bressler reviewed some recent research in ethology and behavior genetics which has relevance for sociology and asserted that it may eventually be possible to think of a unified biosocial science. Meanwhile he believes there is "little reason to fear that social biology con­stitutes a serious threat to humane values." He pre­sented a persuasive argument in support of this thesis by examining the ethical consequences of current bio­logical theories for stratification, socialization, social deviance, social change, and the quality of the popula­tion. Bressler concluded his paper by noting that con­temporary biologists emphasize the interaction between the organism and the environment, and no longer adhere to a genetic determinism which assumes that bio­logical "causes" exhaust the variance in behavior, or that behavior is not amenable to further modification. Geneticists are increasingly accepting the view that it is possible to provide a favorable and benign environment for most persons regardless of phenotype.

The discussants, A. H. Halsey of Oxford University and Mark Haller of the University of Chicago, agreed in the main with Bressler's analysis of the relationship that can and ought to exist between sociology and genet­ics. Halsey cited a number of examples of the conse­quences of such a relationship, based on his experiences as adviser to the labor government in England. Haller expressed general agreement with Bressler, but dis­agreed with his emphasis. Bressler underscored the

ideological barriers that led social scientists to reject hereditary explanations of human behavior. Haller, in contrast, emphasized the "relative lack of firm scientific information concerning the genetic basis for human behavior." Another difference in emphasis concerned Bressler's position that a system of humane ethics is com­patible with an interest in behavior genetics. Haller does not dispute this point but, from the perspective of a historian, he believes we must be "sensitive to the pos­sible policy implications" of theories based on genetic differences between human populations.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

The proceedings of the conference are being pub­lished primarily to serve as a general model for future exchanges between biologists and social scientists. It is vitally important that both groups pursue their research with full awareness and understanding of the relevance of the concerns of the other. This goal may be achieved as future investigators are given opportunities for train­ing and experience in both the biological and social sciences. There is recognition of this pressing need for the future at Rockefeller University, where a program in the behavioral sciences was recently established. It has also been demonstrated in the development of a biology - social science program at Russell Sage Foun­dation, including its postdoctoral fellowship program for social scientists at Rockefeller. It is hoped that the Council's Committee on Biological Bases of Social Be­havior may plan and stimulate the development of additional programs leading to research based on prin­ciples drawn from both the biological and social sciences.
