Making Sense of Heritability by Neven Sesardic, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Neven Sesardic defends the view that it is both possible and useful to measure the separate contributions of heredity and environment to the explanation of human psychological differences. He critically examines the view-very widely accepted by scientists, social scientists and philosophers of science-that heritability estimates have no causal implications and are devoid of any interest and subjects the arguments to close philosophical scrutiny. His conclusion is that anti-heritability arguments are based on conceptual confusions and misunderstandings of behavioral genetics. | Making Sense of Heritability by Neven Sesardic, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
