Nick Martin was a doctoral student of mine at the University of Birmingham in the mid 1970s. In this review, I discuss two of Nick’s earliest and most seminal contributions to the field of behavior genetics. First, Martin and Eaves’ (1977) extension of the model-fitting approach to multivariate data, which laid the theoretical groundwork for a generation of multivariate behavior genetic studies. Second, the Martin et al.’s (1978) manuscript on the power of the classical twin design, which showed that thousands of twin pairs would be required in order to reliably estimate components of variance, and has served as impetus for the formation of large-scale twin registries across the world. I discuss these contributions against the historical backdrop of a time when we and others were struggling with the challenge of figuring out how to incorporate gene-by-environment interaction, gene–environment correlation, mate selection and cultural transmission into more complex genetic models of human behavior.

1970 年代中期,尼克·马丁是我在伯明翰大学的博士生。在这篇评论中,我讨论了尼克对行为遗传学领域最早和最具开创性的两个贡献。首先,Martin 和 Eaves (1977) 将模型拟合方法扩展到多元数据,这为一代多元行为遗传学研究奠定了理论基础。其次,Martin 等人(1978 年)关于经典双胞胎设计力量的手稿表明,为了可靠地估计方差分量,需要数千对双胞胎,并推动了世界各地的大型双胞胎登记处。
