 but also because the twin design has been so successful and widely adopted. The twin design is often seen as the "gold standard" in behavior genetics, and many researchers may be hesitant to deviate from this established approach. Additionally, many human datasets simply do not include the necessary family structure to fit extended pedigree models, which may limit their applicability in certain contexts.
 
 <the reasosn are numerous for why this is the case, but a key factor is that many human datasets simply do not include the necessary family structure to fit these models. And the twin design is often the default analytic approach, even when more complex family data are available.
