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.

    Especially recommended for journalists

    This book should be read by anyone interested in the science of heritability. It is written with clarity, concision, and even humor. The author also shows how far some people have gone to deny the obvious: that our genes help shape who we are why we differ from one another. This book will become even more important in the coming century as computational genetics continues to deliver details that behavioral genetics can only reveal in outline.

    I would especially recommend this book for journalists, students, and academics who want a sense of the science, the conceptual questions it raises, and the political controversies it has generated.

    Nature is Important and Can be Measured
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2006

    In the never ending arguments about nature (heridity) and nurture (surrounding) having more effect on a person the position of the bulk of social scientists is that nurture has more importance. In fact they often hold that heritability is so small that it can be ignored.

    In this book author takes the position that the contributions of heritability vs. environment can be measured to determine the separate contributions to the explanation of human psychological differences.

    Perhaps the best summary of the author's point of view is the quotation he gives at the beginning of the book. Here the author quotes David Lykken: 'The denial of genetically based psychological differences is the kind of sophisticated error normally accessible only to persons having Ph.D. degrees.'

    The rest of the book is concerned with proving this single point, and he does an excellent job.
