Twin studies, heritability, and intelligence.

Unraveling the sources of phenotypic variability for human behavioral traits has been a notoriously elusive goal. Attempts to determine the influence of genes on traits such as general cognition are frustrated by the fact that we know little about how genes and environment combine to shape a
