'Environmental differences' is a misnomer. It's not shared family environment. It's mostly random developmental noise, as far as we can tell. Better to call it 'residual variance'.
OMG the @guardian does a good and fair review of the new book by the world's leading behavior geneticist? Actually listening to his evidence? And yet it's true.

Excellent article and thanks for introducing me to this book. The genetic driven division between nature and nurture is going to split the nation. You can’t be progressive / socialist and believe in genetics. Science denials will become screechier. Books will be banned.

Google will suppress search results. The entire progressive agenda will crumble if this data becomes widely accepted. The education system will need a wholesale makeover. And feminism is about to go supernova. Science is the devil!

The big hurdle will be crossed when the Guardian's editors and columnists pay attention to what their science correspondent reports

To all the conservative morons gloating, if more outcomes are based on nature, not nurture, that bolsters the case for redistribution because it shifts ones outcomes on more variables outside an individuals control. There is nothing just or fair about that. This favors the left

Nice walkback on group differences. Height differences *between* individual Dutchmen are genetic, but the difference between the Dutch and, say, Pygmies is environmental? He's just trying to soften the blow.

The Guardian is all over the place. Sometimes just predictable, sometimes spectacularly awful and sometimes surprisingly candid and perceptive. Mixed bag.
