Is this just about humans... or is it more general than that? JJJamal 23:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The concept of gene-environment correlation is not specific to humans, but may be more relevant to humans than other species because humans are more active in selecting and and shaping their environments than other organisms. My own background is in psychiatry and human genetics, and the current content reflects these biases. --T0mpr1c3 13:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very true, this article does reflect a human bias but could be made more general with only minimal substitutions of word choice; the content is sound. Many organisms will create an environments specifically tailored to their offspring's well-being (ant colonies, nests) or simply bring them into one which is favorable(a pride of lions, a herd cape buffalo).--AlsWissen (talk) 19:09, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Of principal interest are the causal mechanisms, which indicate genetic control over environmental exposure" could be taken to mean that all causal mechanism related to this subject...

"indicate genetic control over environmental exposure".

I am not sure if this page was copied from Link redacted or the other way around. But the two are clearly very similar with regard to their text and phrasing. IntoThinAir (talk) 16:55, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If that page can be believed, it was written 8 October 2018. This article hasn't had any major changes after that (e.g., see last revision before October 2018), so I think it's probably safe to assume that page copied this one. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 22:42, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I wasn't sure since the page doesn't mention Wikipedia and I didn't see the site listed on
