File Description | Professor Sapolsky selects a terrible example with the whole five fingers thing since the polydactyls in the crowd are well aware that it's actually a heritable trait given that having five or six fingers will be based on genetics whether you're in Brooklyn or Yemen - know that family's history and you've got more predictive power than knowing geography. Heritability is really about the environment's influence, not the gene's influence (technically the definition runs the other way, but the manner in which heritability is established is all about where the genes are expressed. If they are what they are no matter where, then it's heritable. |
