摘要
Johnson, Penke and Spinath (2011) review the concept of heritability in the light of previous findings from genetically informative designs and of modern findings from molecular genetics. Several of their points about the interpretation of heritability and the search for genetic variants underlying trait variation appear to us to obscure rather than clarify the state of behavioural genetics. In this response, we review points of disagreement with the hope of simplifying and clarifying fundamental concepts in the field.
