Heritability estimates in behavior genetics: Wasn't that station passed long ago?

  • Wim E. Crusio (a1)
Abstract

Charney describes several mechanisms that will bias estimates of heritability in unpredictable directions. In addition, the mechanisms described by Charney explain the puzzling fact that research in human-behavior genetics routinely reports higher heritabilities than animal studies do. However, I argue that the concept of heritability has no real place in human research anyway.
