Abstract

Human adaptation is a complex interplay between genetic predispositions and environmental influences, shaping behavior across generations. This study examines the dynamic relationships between genetic variation, behavioral traits, and environmental factors that drive human adaptability. By integrating insights from genetics, psychology, and evolutionary biology, we explore how genes influence behavior and, in turn, how behaviors can affect genetic selection. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and empirical research, we identify key pathways through which genetic mechanisms impact behavior, the role of epigenetics, and the significance of cultural and environmental contexts. This understanding provides a foundation for developing interventions aimed at improving mental health and social outcomes
