Canalization is the degree to which genes are affected by environmental variations. Behavioral epigenetics is a system through which chemical tags activate or silence gene activity in response to events or circumstances in the individual’s environment. Genes can also affect the nature of an individual’s environment. In a passive gene-environment interaction, children are born into a family that shares and promotes their own genetically determined abilities and interests. In an active gene-environment interaction, children seek out experiences on their own that fit their genetic endowments. In an evocative gene-environment interaction, children act in a way that draws out or evokes certain responses from those around them.
