Heritability lost; intelligence found
Probably nothing makes human beings more different from other species—and from one another— than their intelligence. The subject is of profound general interest—what the brain is for and how it works, the distinctiveness of the human mind, what makes us individual and human—yet delivers so little. Human intelligence remains poorly defined and characterized, even among those who most study it. R...
متن کاملThe Intelligence of Heritability
The influences of heredity and environment on behaviour are sometimes quantified as a heritability ratio, which assigns a percentage of variation in test scores to variation in the genotypes of individuals. There are compelling reasons, both biological and statistical, to doubt the validity of the common practice of partitioning variance in this manner. This paper outlines the conceptual founda...

To stand before this distinguished group of physician-scientists without a PowerPoint presentation full of data slides is a deeply uncomfortable position. I do not stand before you with the data of graphs, charts, and models, but rather with the data of experience acquired through a ...
متن کاملHeritability of Intelligence
Intelligence has been studied and measured for about 100 years. During that time researchers initially made casual observations that intelligence was substantially heritable, but they did not have enough data nor the appropriate methodology to quantify heritability. It was not pursued as an important focus of research until the end of the 60s. During the 60s, it was commonly believed (even by a...
متن کاملSaturn's spokes: lost and found.
The spokes are intermittently appearing radial markings in Saturn's B ring that are believed to form when micrometer-sized dust particles are levitated above the ring by electrostatic forces. First observed by the Voyagers, the spokes disappeared from October 1998 until September 2005, when the Cassini spacecraft saw them reappear. The trajectories of the charged dust particles comprising the s...
