AI synopsis

What people are saying

Numerous discussions reference specific statistics from the publication, such as the average heritability of traits being around 50%. Phrases like 'average trait has heritability of 0.5' and mentions of '14 million twin pairs confirm' showcase the depth of information shared. The choice of words, such as 'it's known' or 'you just inherit this package,' sets a tone of certainty and encourages readers to reconsider previously held beliefs about nature versus nurture.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions reflect a supportive view of the article's conclusions on heritability.

InterestHigh interest

Participants in the discussions express strong curiosity and relevance regarding genetic influences on traits.

EngagementModerate engagement

Many comments reference specific figures and implications from the article, indicating moderate engagement with the content.

ImpactHigh impact

Several participants emphasize that the findings will significantly influence future research in genetics.

Abstract in brief

  • A comprehensive metaanalysis of twin studies over fifty years investigates the heritability of 17,804 human traits, involving 14,558,903 twin pairs.
  • Results show that the average heritability across traits is approximately 49%, with a majority (69%) aligning with a model emphasizing additive genetic variation.
  • The findings challenge the notion of significant shared environmental or nonadditive genetic influences and aim to inform future gene-mapping research.

14 million twin pairs confirm: All traits are partially heritable; twin similarity is due largely to shared genes, differences to non-shared genes + the environment and developmental noise. https://t.co/NmApJwMDVz https://t.co/xjLYZ5kKhg

Na metanálise gigantesca de Polderman et al. (2015), envolvendo +de 17 mil características e +de 2700 artigos, a variação entre pessoas foi explicada em ~50% pelos genes, ~20% pelo ambiente compartilhado. Os outros 30% são ambiente não-compartilhado. https://t.co/onxLiMaOWP

In the publication bias tests in the polderman meta-analysis, for higher-level cognitive ability, heritability and shared environment are biased significantly downwards by publication bias. https://t.co/TkuagMLrzw https://t.co/AOBodgCvBS (rMZ actually more biased in the point https://t.co/Xcg7WruEI1

E aqui está um estudo com todas as características humanas comportamentais estudadas até então, durante 50 anos com gêmeos, mostrando que a herdabilidade média é ~50%. Nós temos alelos associados a altíssimo QI também, se eu te mandar você desmaia? https://t.co/1LQCBOXo19 https://t.co/058a5RgIVt

@NoahHeslop2 @DelusionPosting You're right about severe abuse and neglect, but only a very small number of parents are guilty of that, so it only explains a small portion of the variance in traits. Twin studies show the substantial effect of genes—eg., Polderman et al. (2015). https://t.co/SxOhhfFQLR

Na metanálise gigantesca de Polderman et al. (2015), envolvendo +de 17 mil características e +de 2700 artigos, a variação entre pessoas foi explicada em ~50% pelos genes, ~20% pelo ambiente compartilhado. Os outros 30% são ambiente não-compartilhado. https://t.co/onxLiMaOWP

@Shanice79540635 家庭環境の影響は僅かです。生き別れの一卵性双生児の50歳時点の学歴や身長を見ると家庭環境に関わらず相関することが分かってます。つまり学歴−身長の相関は優良遺伝子の独占の結果だと考えられます(低学歴低身長の親は宝くじを当てても子供の学歴身長を改善できない) https://t.co/PJux1vLWe5

@Race_Game_Movie @wil_da_beast630 This is because Wilfred knows next to nothing about behavioral genetics: https://t.co/Ka9Wg5nCrN That is, c^2 estimates of shared (including family) environments are generally low and often hit 0 by adulthood. Parent effects are strongly confounded with strong genetic effects.
