    Robert Plomin, one of the biggest names in behavioral genetics, has just published a book on recent developments in genetics and heritability. It's called Blueprint and is written for a general audience. https://www.amazon.com/Blueprint-How-DNA-Makes-Press/dp/0262039168/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1537903352&sr=1-1 … Here are two early reviews:

        Nature magazine, often said to be the most prestigious science journal in the world, published this one. You can tell by the review's disinterested, scholarly tone:https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06784-5 …

        @QuilletteM published this one, by Greg Cochran, polymath and a curmudgeon's curmudgeon (I speak as an authority): https://quillette.com/2018/09/25/forget-nature-versus-nurture-nature-has-won/ …. Hard to believe the two reviews are discussing the same book. Read Blueprint and decide for yourself.

        Wait—it’s not on audible? It’s only available for audio on a CD???? What is this, the 90s? Who even still has a CD player?

        Comfort's objections have almost nothing to do with science & everything to do with ideology; e.g., " . . Plomin has made it pretty clear what kind of world he wants. I oppose him." Translation: Plomin has made the facts clear & they're "not nice". I'm going to cry now.

        Neither of them are book reviews so much as they're opinion pieces about genetics.

        Ironically, the lefty academic (Nature) takes a conservative “nurture” view, while the typically conservative Quillette takes a more “progressive” eugenics view. Things seem to be getting scrambled.

        If you can find a single word in that review that says anything about eugenics, or any kind of genetic engineering, I will buy you a lollipop. I have opinions on the subject, but they're not in that review.

        Genes/DNA aren't "blueprints". That presumes context-independency when they're massively context-dependent. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2223161/ …pic.twitter.com/Yp0pyQ8Hfc
