Husband, father, social scientist, writer, Madisonian. Or maybe right-wing ideologue, pseudoscientist, evil. Opinions differ.

      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.

          Just look at that terrible doctor, trying to make sure they don't accidentally give the baby the wrong blood in an emergency. Genetic determinism at its worst. Don't they know that 0- and AB+ blood are both equally valuable?

          “the discredited, simplistic idea that genes alone control human nature” I wonder if they’ll ever tire of attacking this ridiculous strawman.

          Mr Comfort seems a tad emotional in his review. But hey, he was born that way.

          From review: "simplistic idea that genes alone control human nature." Next sentence: "book’s message is vintage genetic determinism: 'DNA isn’t all that matters but it matters more than everything else put together'"

          “Back in 1918 they were wrong about something with genes which proves my point”. Yes. Let us forget that the nature of science is improvement.

          "I was pleasantly surprised to find this strong, welcome biological support for the idea of neurodiversity." That surprised feeling is called cognitive dissonance @nccomfort
