In addition to writing academic research articles, Blumberg has served as the editor-in-chief of Behavioral Neuroscience and authored several books, including Freaks of Nature: What Anomalies Tell Us About Development and Evolution.
The book delves into the origins of so-called innate behaviors, reframing them as emerging from complex biological and environmental cascades rather than as products of hardwiring or genetic instruction.
[6] In 2008, Blumberg was named the editor-in-chief of Behavioral Neuroscience, a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering its eponymous topic and published by the American Psychological Association.
In the book, Blumberg uses examples from conjoined twins who coordinate their behavior and goats and dogs born without forelimbs who learn to walk on their hind legs.
[1] During this time, he also served as the president of the International Society for Developmental Psychobiology[8] and was named the F. Wendell Miller Professor of Psychology at the University of Iowa.
