Interesting paper showing development of behavioral variability in clonal fish. If this much diversity can develop in (a) identical (b) fish raised in (c) identical conditions, makes one think about tracing gene-behavior pathways in free-ranging humans.

If you extend this to humans and genetically identical individuals can be significantly different, this throws the idea of significant heritability for far less genetically similar offspring into question and, with it, the entire premise of behavioral genetics.
