Question: Who was the Italian professor of genetics who edited the Theoretical Biological Forum?

 In its previous incarnation, it was edited by noted creationist Giuseppe Sermonti, but now the journal broadly covers theoretical biology. Theoretical Biology Forum (known as Rivista di Biologia-Biology Forum before 2012) is a triannual scientific journal covering theoretical biology.  According to the "Journal Citation Reports", the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 0.250.  In particular, the problems of evolutionary theory are discussed and the possibility of relative mathematical modeling is examined.  Other chemical and physical subjects linked to biology are also accepted. <SEP>  Sermonti is well known for his criticism of natural selection as the deciding factor of human biology. Giuseppe Sermonti (born 1925) is a retired Italian professor of genetics. <SEP> Adoption studies are one of the classic tools of behavioral genetics.  These studies are used to estimate the degree to which a trait varies in response to environmental and genetic variation.  Adoption studies are typically used together with twin studies when estimating heritability.  There are two adoption study designs.  The adoptee's method investigates similarities between the adoptee and their biological and adoptive parents.  Similarity with the biological parent is expected to be heritable genetic effect, while similarity with the adoptive parent is associated with home-environment, called the shared environmental effect.  The familial method compares non-biological siblings who are reared in the same household.  Similarity to non-biological siblings raised in the same household is attributed to shared environment effect, as the siblings are biologically unrelated but share the home environment.  Variation that cannot be accounted by either genetics or home-environment is typically described as non-shared environment.  Adoption studies are one of the key tools in behavioral genetics and are typically used in combination with twin studies when making habitability estimates. <SEP> Eshel Ben-Jacob (full name Eshel Refael Ben-Jacob Breslav; Hebrew: אשל רפאל בן-יעקב‎ ‎ 13 April 1952 – 5 June 2015), was a theoretical and experimental physicist at Tel Aviv University, holder of the Maguy-Glass Chair in Physics of Complex Systems, and Fellow of the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics (CTBP) at Rice University.  During the 1980s he became an international leader in the theory of self-organization and pattern formation in open systems, and later extended this work to adaptive complex systems and biocomplexity.  His specialization in self-organization of complex systems yielded the breakthrough of solving the long-standing (since Kepler) snowflake problem.  In the late 1980s, he turned to study of bacterial self-organization, believing that bacteria hold the key to understanding the larger biological systems.  He developed new pattern forming bacteria species, became a pioneer in the study of bacterial intelligence and social behaviors of bacteria, and was an influential figure in establishing the now rapidly evolving physics of living systems (biological physics and physical biology) disciplines.  He was an adviser to the Microbes Mind Forum.
