Hans van Abeelen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans van Abeelen (November 20, 1936-August 21, 1998), from Enschede, The Netherlands, was the first Dutch behavior geneticist.

He obtained his Ph.D. at the Catholic University of Nijmegen in 1965. He was a founding member of the Behavior Genetics Association and served on the Editorial board of its journal, Behavior Genetics from its creation in 1971 to 1992. van Abeelen took early retirement in 1991, but nevertheless became one of the founding members of the International Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society. Over the span of his career, he published 64 articles and book chapters[1] and edited one book, The Genetics of Behavior,[2] which was an early overview of European behavior genetics.[3]
