Interpreting heritability estimates through the lens of cultural evolution presents two broad and interlinking problems for educational behavior genetics. First, the problem of interpreting high heritability of educational phenotypes as indicators of the genetic basis of traits, when these findings also reflect cultural homogeneity. Second, the problem of extrapolating from genetic research findings in education to policy and practice recommendations.
从文化进化的角度解读遗传率估计值,给教育行为遗传学带来了两个广泛且相互关联的问题。首先,当这些发现也反映出文化同质性时,教育表型的高遗传率被解释为特质的遗传基础的指标,这存在一个问题。其次,从教育中的遗传研究结果推断出政策和实践建议,这存在另一个问题。
