Tolman and Robert Tryon.[5] From 1956 to 1960, he was an assistant professor at Columbia University, where he worked alongside Theodosius Dobzhansky.[3] He later conducted multiple influential studies on the genetic origins of behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster, Dobzhansky’s favorite species.[5][6] He subsequently continued this research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,[4] where he became an associate professor of psychology and zoology in 1960. He became a full professor of psychology there in 1963, of zoology in 1966, and of ecology, ethology, and evolution in 1976.[7] On March 30, 1970, he hosted the founding meeting of the Behavior Genetics Association at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[8] He was the editor-in-chief of Animal Behaviour from 1968 to 1972[3] and of the Journal of Comparative Psychology from 1983 to 1988.[9] He retired from the University of Illinois in 1993, and remained an active emeritus professor there until 2004.[7]He died on May 3, 2008 at his home in Urbana, Illinois.[3]Criticism of hereditarians[edit]Hirsch was an early and vocal critic of the work of Arthur Jensen, who argued that group differences in educational ability were heritable. Hirsch argued that Jensen’s work was a misuse and misrepresentation of behavior genetics[10] and that Jensen’s “avowed goals” were “as heinously barbaric as were Hitler’s and the anti-abolitionists”.[11] In the mid-1960s, William Shockley tried to convince Hirsch to support his views on the heritability of racial differences in IQ. This attempt was unsuccessful, and Hirsch subsequently called the nature-nurture debate a “pseudo-question”.[12]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4References[edit]^ “Examining Group Behavior on the Fly”.
