Mutation, selection and the heritability of complex traits.

Novartis Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 2000

Pomiankowski A

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that complex traits, like intelligence, have low heritabilities. This hypothesis stems from the idea that strong selection for higher intelligence has led to the fixation of genetic variation for this trait. The same hypothesis has been framed for complex sexual ornaments us...
