The new genetics of intelligence.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Mar 2018

Plomin Robert, von Stumm Sophie

Abstract excerpt

Intelligence - the ability to learn, reason and solve problems - is at the forefront of behavioural genetic research. Intelligence is highly heritable and predicts important educational, occupational and health outcomes better than any other trait. Recent genome-wide association studies have successfully identified inherited genome sequence differences that account for 20% of the 50% heritability of intelligence....
