How does Lewontin's work relate to human behavior?

Answered in Richard Lewontin's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

My work fundamentally questions simplistic gene-centric explanations for complex human behaviors. The 'Triple Helix' illustrates how genes, organisms, and environments are in a continuous, dialectical relationship. Understanding human behavior requires looking at this dynamic interaction, rather than seeking a single gene 'for' a specific trait or action. This perspective challenges the notion that our current social structures are biologically ordained.
