Missing compared to what? Revisiting heritability, genes and culture.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 5 Apr 2018

Feldman Marcus W, Ramachandran Sohini

Abstract excerpt

Standard models for the determination of phenotypes from genes are grounded in simple assumptions that are inherent in the modern evolutionary synthesis (MES), which was developed in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. The MES was framed in the context of Mendelian genetic transmission enhanced by the Fisherian view of the way discretely inherited genes determine continuously quantitative phenotypes. The statistical...
