Lindon Eaves
Lindon J. Eaves (born 23 September 1944) is a behavior geneticist who has published on topics as diverse as the heritability of religion and psychopathology. His research encompasses the development of mathematical models reflecting competing theories of the causes and familial transmission of human human differences, the design of studies for the resolution, analytical methods for parameter estimation and hypothesis-testing and application to substantive questions about specific (human) traits.〔(LJ, Gale JS: A method for analyzing the genetic basis of covariation. Behav Genet 4(3):253-267, 1974 )〕 He was the first to consider standardized variance components for heritability estimates〔(LJ: The genetic analysis of continuous variation: A comparison of experimental designs applicable to human data. Br J Math Stat Psychol 22(2):131-147, 1969 )〕〔(LJ: The genetic analysis of continuous variation: A comparison of experimental designs applicable to human data. 11. Estimation of heritability and comparison of environmental components. Br J Math Stat Psychol 23(2):189-198, 1970 )〕 and was the first (at least in the human context) to consider the effects of living with a relative (with a different genotype or, in the case of monozygotic twins, the same genotype) on the behavior of a person.〔(LJ: A model for sibling effects in man. Heredity 36(2):205-214, 1976 )〕 Furthermore, he was the first to think about genotype x age interaction〔(LJ, Eysenck H: Genotype X age interaction for neuroticism. Behav Genet 6(3):359-362, 1976 )〕 and set up the algebra to study the effects of genes working in males as well as females, making it possible to use twins pairs of opposite-sex (dizygotic opposite sex).〔(LJ: Inferring the causes of human variation (with discussion). J R Stat Soc Ser A Stat Soc 140 (3):324-355, 1977 )〕 Together with Nick Martin, he wrote many classical papers, one of which is "The genetic analysis of covariance structure".〔(NG, Eaves LJ: The genetical analysis of covariance structure. Heredity 38:79-95, 1977 )〕 They also wrote the book, ''Genes, culture and personality: An empirical approach''. In 2012, a Festschrift was held in Edinburgh dedicated to Eaves' work; the proceedings were subsequently published in ''Behavior Genetics''.
==Early life==
Eaves studied genetics at the University of Birmingham and theology at the University of Oxford. He was professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Oxford until 1981, when he moved to Virginia Commonwealth University where Walter Nance and Linda Corey had established the Virginia Twin Registry. In 1996, he and Kenneth Kendler founded the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics, where he is currently professor emeritus and actively engaged in research and training.
