Uchiyama et al. propose a unified model linking cultural evolutionary theory to behavior genetics (BG) to enhance generalizability, enrich explanation, and predict how social factors shape heritability estimates. A consideration of culture evolution is beneficial but insufficient for purpose. I submit that their proposed model is underdeveloped and their emphasis on heritability estimates misguided. I discuss their ambiguous conception of culture, neglect of social structure, and the lack of a general theory in BG.
内山等人提出了一个将文化进化理论与行为遗传学（BG）联系起来的统一模型，以增强通用性、丰富解释，并预测社会因素如何塑造遗传率估计。考虑文化进化是有益的，但不足以达到目的。我认为他们提出的模型不够完善，他们对遗传率估计的重视也是错误的。我讨论了他们对文化的模糊概念、对社会结构的忽视以及 BG 中缺乏一般理论的问题。
