Life

Hans van Abeelen received his diploma from the University of Groningen and his doctorate in natural sciences from Radboud University Nijmegen in 1965, where he stayed for the rest of his career as “wetenschappelijk hoofdmedewerker”. He was a founding member of the Behavior Genetics Association and a member of the editorial board of the scientific journal Behavior Genetics from its inception in 1971 to 1992.

During his career he published 64 articles and book chapters and edited a book, The Genetics of Behavior , which provided an early overview of European behavioral genetics.
