I've never heard of "hereditarianism." Is this a fringe concept,
@Steve_Sailer? I had to look it up: "school of thought that heredity plays a significant role in determining human nature and character traits." Funny. I guess another word for that would be "realityism."
Well, have you heard of quantum chromodynamics, linguistic typology, ergodicity, or Objective collapse theories? Probably not, but this doesn't mean much about whether it is worthwhile or not. Hereditarianism is a mainstream view among researchers.

I just wonder who came up with the label. It strikes me as a term that was coined by a leftist to belittle the traditional view that, obviously, genetics heavily influences IQ. That seems so obviously correct it's arguably pejorative to classify it as a school of thought.
