“Just because two groups differ in a heritable trait, does not mean that the difference between them is genetic.”

Ex: height of North vs South Koreans

Heritability of intelligence can be affected by the environment.

Environment can be responsible for more of the difference if it doesn’t provide something necessary to reach one’s potential.

When there are really clearly distinct traits, like wrinkly versus smooth peas, it can imply simple heredity from one or maybe two jeans. But when you see a trait, like height, that has a normal distribution, it implies that there are many many more genes

The current categories of race are not good groups to find the most genetic diversity between groups. There is more genetic diversity within racial groups than between them.

So far a history of how we developed our understanding of genetics. Some of the scientists involved, people who were their case studies, positive and negative uses of genetic understanding.
