To mark the end of the Year of Science ‘Freedom’, we are dedicating this issue to freedom of choice. We explore the question of whether free will exists and, if so, what could constitute it. Neurobiology is also investigating this with ever new approaches. How free we are in our decisions is also a topic of research in the context of choosing a partner. This is because it is only chance that plays a role here; there are also patterns that can be proven demographically. Chance also determines where and into which family we are born. Epigenetic studies show how our origins influence the course of our lives and, above all, our health.
