Give me an example of behavioral genetics?
Behavioral genetics studies what role genetics plays in both animal and human behavior. This is different, though somewhat a part of, genetics which studies heredity. Behavior geneticists only look at behavioral traits that may be passed to offspring and often deal with studies related to ethology and psychology rather than inheritance of all characteristics as in genetics.
Are women cleverer than men?
Such a question of intelligence cannot be generalised in terms of the sex of the species. Intelligence is a result of, amongst others, genetics and developmental environment, therefore it would differ between each individual. The female brain is slightly smaller than that of the male (in humans), but this does not in any way contribute to a heightened or lowered sense of intelligence in either.

What is the ultimate source of genetics variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
mutation
Main difference between inherited variation and enviromental variation?
Inherited variation is what is passed on through genetics, for example, your eye color. Environmental variation is influnced by the environment, for example, scars or clothing styles.
How does anatomy explain evolution?

What are two aguments against the theory of sociobiology?
