Tweelingonderzoek (Twin Research)
What multiples tell about the human being.

How powerful is the influence of genetic ability on human behaviour? This question keeps us all busy from time to time. For Dorret Boomsma and her team of researchers this is however a daily job. Now they present their findings for interested outsiders in a public book to which also foreign researchers have contributed.

Tweelingonderzoek is co-written by 31 researchers. The editing process is done by dr. Dorret Boomsma, Professor Biologic Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit. In 2002 she received the ‘Spinoza Premie’ and she is managing the Dutch Register for Twins (NTR), which holds information of approximately 55.000 people.
