Until fairly recently interpersonal relationships were considered purely environmental without consideration of the role of the individual in influencing his or her relationships via a variety of mechanisms including genes.

This shift coincides with a rapidly growing body of work that has documented that interpersonal relationships are influenced at least in part by genetical
