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.
I don’t know if Francis Galton’s work is an eg of "hereditarianism." He certainly maintained that heredity plays a significant role in determining human nature and character traits. http://galton.org/hereditarian.html …pic.twitter.com/YICJLio4Kt
Of course it is. He's the father of behavioral genetics.
Apparently "hereditarianism" was first coined in 1906, in a slam against the eugenics movement.https://twitter.com/BadgerPundit/status/976159221820649472 …
Later "hereditarianism" was employed against careful scholars such as @CharlesMurray. https://twitter.com/BadgerPundit/status/976158727899439110 …. Pretty clear, as I immediately hypothesized upon seeing the word, that it functions mostly as a way for progressives to depict as aberrant those who observe reality.
