While we commend Horwitz et al. (2003) for speaking to core issues in behavioral genetics, we disagree with many particulars of their article. We are skeptical of their claims regarding the particular contribution offered by both their methods and data. We believe also that the findings they present as challenging the equal environments assumption are, upon closer examination, not persuasive. Most fundamentally, we worry that the way in which Horwitz et al. conceptualize the relationship between genes and environments is not the best means of doing so for sociologists interested in engaging behavioral genetics.
虽然我们赞扬霍维茨等人（2003年）探讨了行为遗传学的核心问题，但我们不同意他们文章中的许多细节。我们对他们关于其方法和数据所提供的特殊贡献的说法表示怀疑。我们还认为，他们提出的那些挑战平等环境假设的研究结果，经过仔细审视，并不具有说服力。最根本的是，我们担心霍维茨等人对基因与环境之间关系的概念化方式，对于有兴趣涉足行为遗传学的社会学家来说，并非最佳方式。
