Cognitive ability and occupational status in a British cohort.

Journal of biosocial science - 1 May 2004

Thienpont K, Verleye G

Abstract excerpt

The relation between individual trait differences, social mobility and social structure is central to social biology. Because genetic variance underlies phenotypic variance in some of these traits, for example IQ, several mechanisms determine the population variance. Polygenic inheritance is the basic mechanism. Social mobility and assortative partner choice distribute the trait variance within generations. This...
