I've shared the link you've kindly shared with the scientist who posted the link I posted here to an email list including participants in a behavioral genetics seminar.

I suppose that part of what goes on in discussions like this is sorting out which findings are "significant" not just in the statistical sense but also in actual clinical practice.

I see Eric Turkheimer's faculty webpage

is temporarily unavailable. (I have just emailed him about that.) That is usually a good source of links to current literature on behavioral genetics, the subject that prompts my interest in genetics literature.

Thanks, tokenadult. We surely disagree about many things but you are indeed a seeker of truth.
