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.

Research in behavior genetics has shown that almost all personality traits have both biological and environmental factors. One example of this is the trait of intelligence.
