What is Twin and Adoption Studies on Behavior about?

Twin and adoption studies reveal relationships between genes and behavior by comparing monozygotic twins, dizygotic twins, adopted children and their biological and adoptive parents. This allows researchers to determine heritability, which estimates the degree to which individual differences in a trait are due to genetic factors versus environmental factors. Many human characteristics like intelligence and personality have been found to have heritability estimates that typically range between 40-70%.
