  • curprev 22:0022:00, 13 October 2019‎ 68.229.210.51 talk‎ 60,820 bytes −832‎ No one can see the textbook you're citing and it flies in the face of the actual statements that the scientists are making in the IQ heritability studies. It is also inconsistent with the wikipedia page for heritability and also with population statistics. It is a fact that population statistics are valid for more than the sample. The scientists state that the heritability of a trait is X across several traits, IQ, height, etc. No one can see your source and isn't used on heritability wiki undo Tag: references removed

Original text was just wrong. The concept of heritability can alternately be expressed in the form of the following question: "What is the proportion of the variation in a given trait within a population that is not explained by the environment or random chance?" undo
  • curprev 01:5301:53, 10 October 2019‎ Mfergus9 talk contribs‎ 60,809 bytes −11‎ As far as I can see, every citation for heritability will state heritability for a trait such as (quote from panizzon). " The latent g factor was highly heritable (86%)" A study on heritability of neuroticism states it such "The average effect size was .40, indicating that 40% of individual differences in personality were due to genetic, while 60% are due to environmental influences" and another "The estimated broad-sense heritability of neuroticism was 47%". undo

  • curprev 22:0822:08, 5 October 2019‎ 86.5.118.19 talk‎ 61,791 bytes +981‎ Edited the Intro to clear up obvious misunderstandings of the heritability statistic, cited a Genetics textbook to explain why those changes needed to be made - the Intro as it stood was misleading about what the heritability statistic actually means, including the mistake of saying "IQ is X% heritable" in a general sense, a mistake that any Genetics class introducing the heritability statistic would warn students not to make. Traits don't have a heritability in the general sense. undo

It does have the great caveat : "Heritability is an estimate of the genetic and environmental contributions to the variance of any phenotypic measure around the mean for a given population." undo
