title: In search of behavioral individuality.
abstract: Living things are not created identical: In sexually reproducing species, individuals-except monozygotic twins-are different. Although widely acknowledged, behavioral individuality has received relatively little empirical or theoretical attention. Yet it seems likely that research focusing on individual differences will yield important insights for evolutionarily minded students of behavioral biology, including those interested in better understanding Homo sapiens.
