AI Thread Summary
Mating behavior is considered genetically inheritable, playing a significant role in speciation. Various sex-linked behaviors, such as nest building, territory defense, and courtship rituals, demonstrate how genetics influence these behaviors. The discussion highlights that modified mating behaviors can lead to evolutionary changes and species differentiation, underscoring the genetic basis of such behaviors.

Evidently, since modified mating behavior is one of the chief proposed outcomes/causes of speciation.
 
Yes, there are numerous, sex-linked behaviors that thus genetically driven. Think about behaviors that make males different from females: nest building, establishing and defending a territory, courtship rituals, etc. I think you can see how these are inheritable.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
