Whoa interesting. They're just using linear models for this? Is there something I'm missing or is this just the state of the art?

I think that most of these traits are explained by linear models because fisher’s theorem is useful, but Noam has a paper by Jim Crow that examines this empirically. I can’t remember name of it.

Replying to @JanssenBro @eigenrobot and
If F is fitness then you see that dF/dt ~ (additive genetic variance). Pretty sure this is why the linear models work
