I don't like literature based expressions because these are sensitive to social desirability bias, whereas anonymous surveys are not so much. I think one should follow the approach used in climate science to gauge expert opinion on climate change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveys_of_scientists%27_views_on_climate_change …

I don't know what you mean, interpretations of heritability. This is not like quantum mechanics interpretations. Heritability only has one meaning that everybody uses (G/P var). There are various disagrees on what one can infer from heritability wrt. malleability.

Obviously, researchers think heritability is meaningful, otherwise they wouldn't bother with all the studies. The philosophers are out of touch with the science. Note that philosophers are very left-wing so we can expect them to dislike heritability for political reasons alone.

I havne't read that book (yet). Obviously, one cannot just ignore arguments because their origins are Marxists, but if literally every major opponent of something is Marxist (Gould, Lewontin, Kamin, their other commie friends), then I'm very suspicious.

Attacking hereditarianism on grounds of... not accepting abduction is certainly a bold move. But not one that would convince anyone not already in agreement. Everybody uses abduction in real life, and it fits well with a coherentist view of justification IMO.

I understood you to be saying that the new criticism of hereditarianism is to attack abduction in general. I don't think any researcher will bother defending abduction, that's a philosophers job. And as I said, I don't think it will be relevant for any scientific argument.
